Subject: RE: Folklore: Child's Essay on Ballad Poetry
Thanks Joe. Fascinating reading. I have read quite a lot in the genre but that snippet got me brushing up an old song about Robin Hood I used to sing occasionally.
Regarding the Mike Harding lookalike. Mike of course has arranged some excellent renditions of the more popular Child ballads, bringing them to a wider audience when he used to slip songs into his mainstream comedy tours.
