I wrote a song called "Fading Voices" and the tune seemed as old as the hills. I was so sure I must have heard it before that I phoned up a few friends who are steeped in traditional music and sang it to them over the phone. Not one of them recognised it. Then I phoned Johnny Collins and sang it to him. "Do you recognise the tune John?" I asked. "No" he replied, "But I want to sing it!" He recorded it too!
