Thread Name: Origins: Coming Home from the Wake/Nellie Milkmaid
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coming Home from the Wake
At my mother's restaurant, Lighter ~ Chez Cleo, Kensington, where I used to sing Caviare & Foggy Dew, &c, & a semi-impromptu customer-participatory cabaret would often happen ~ Ustinov's Love Of 3 Colonels was running in London & one night I recall none other than Theo Bikel taking the guitar off the wall & singing! This about mid-50s.

The version of Home From Wake that one customer sang & taught me was called Roger Of Kildare. As you say, I then passed it on to Sandy at the Troubadour Old Brompton Road, 1958, & I think he put it on, was it his Many Faces album?.

Can you give a link to the previous post of mine re this that you ref above, please?
