Herga Kitty: what I said about the Lish Young Buy A Broom certainly applies to Horn of the Hunter (that it was widely sung in contexts independent of the folk revival). It always surprised me that the song collectors, Topic Records, people like that, seemedd to ignore Cumbria with its thriving traditional unrevived traditional music scene in the 60's; whereas in East Anglia, say, traditional singers still functioning at that time were eagerly sought outand recorded). I always found this inexplicable. Was it because lake district singers tended to singing hunting songs all the time, and the liberal folk elite objected? Or was Cumbria too far from Hampstead for a weekend song collecting? It felt to me like a south/north thing, but perhaps there is another explanation?
