Perhaps my cynicism is boundless, but if two very clever songs came from "tradition" through a single singer like Pete Bullen, shouldn't Bullen have had a higher profile in the '60s? Did Bellamy introduce him to no one on the folk scene? Had Bullen no other songs that Bellamy thought it worthwhile to record - at a time when genuine trad singers were getting notably harder to find.

It would be very odd indeed if the *only* two songs a trad singer knew were undocumented elsewhere; likewise it would be strange for a folkie not to have learned *even one* obviously trad song from such a singer. But these two were apparently all we're going to get.

Outside of the songs, all we seem to know of Pete Bullen is that he had a grandfather.

Or have I missed something?
