Subject: RE: Lyr/Tune Req: Lovely Stornoway (Kennedy/Halfin)
Tattie Bogle, I've just found out that thrash Celtic merchants 'Peat and Diesel', (currently creating Peatlemania) have brought Lovely Stornoway to another generation. It's now seriously re-entered public consciousness though their performances.   Not my kind of rendition (don't let actual tuneful singing get in the way), but hey..to each their own.   It's funny how a song can be re-discovered, but I bet not many people realise it's not traditional, and was mainly written to order by an Englishman!
