Thread Name: Origins: Lovely Nancy - Various Versions
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Lovely Nancy - Australian Version
Joe has sent me a MIDI of the Sally Sloane Transcription.
(thanks again Joe)
I've MIDI2ABC'd it and done some hand editing of the ABC, but until I can get home and check carefully (no audio at work, no time really either) I can't be sure it's right yet, but it's just what we need.

Bob, the Song Links launch is the reason why we want the song. We've got to perform it for the concert!

We did an English version of Barbara Allen for thre Sidmouth Song Links concert and will be doing it again for the March one.

We're also after an Aussie version of Banks of the Nile - Martyn says Nancy Kerr and James Fagan have recorded it but I can't find it anywhere. There seem to be many versions so we don't know which one it's supposed to be. I've emailed James Fagan but that's a long shot. On the other hand we'll be seeing Martyn on Sunday so let's hope he can clear things up then.
