What Kitty says is quite true, but it's something we need to be moving beyond, I think.

Interestingly, the Newcastle students have just sung a choral arrangement of Brigg Fair which has a lot more in common with Percy Grainger's arrangement than with Joseph Taylor's set. It even includes the extra lines that Grainger grafted on from Henry Burstow's Low Down in the Broom (an unrelated song) to fill the gaps.

Just now listening to journalist Peter Paphides' comments, and am rather taken aback by his ignorance and presumption. He needs to do a little more research.
