Thread Name: Tune Req: The Man from God Knows Where
Subject: RE: Tune Req: The Man from God Knows Where
I gather from an earlier thread that Tom Hickland (formerly of Five Hand Reel) put a tune to this poem. I don't think it was ever posted.
I did the same myself once but I haven't written it as abc. I'll put a trace on this thread and, with any luck, I'll have something done by the weekend. Bear in mind though that a lot of people would regard it as bordering on sacrilege to perform this piece as other than a spoken recitation. Preferably in the accents of County Down. The north of that county. The bit around Comber. They (we) can be very picky.
