Carthy gave Dylan 'Scarbourough Fair' and Lord Franklin - he turned them into 'Girl From the North Country and 'Bob Dylan's Dream'
I'm not sure what Carthy's gripe was - neither song belonged to him anyway
MacColl and Joan Littlewood recorded Scarborough fait from lead miner Mark Anderson, whose version wasn't a million iles from Kidson's; I'm nor sure where Franklin Came from but I'm pretty sure that Martin sang Bert Lloyd's version
If everybody got their own, Harry Cox and Sam Larner would have died rich - but they don't count when we've taken their songs, do they?
