Subject: RE: Songs from Singing the Fishing

Thanks for the help, but I doubt these two are from MacColl/Seeger. Most of the music has been written for the recording, but some is older material as e.g. "Up jumped the herring...". I presumed these two are also traditional, but with MacColl it is hard to tell which speaks for him.
