John, dont miss BBC 4 TV on Friday 27th at 9pm to 10pm, and repeated on Sunday 29th at 7pm, a programme celebrating 50 years of the Sidmouth Folk Festival.
Featuring, Kate Rusby, John McCusker, The Waterson Family, Danu, Steeleye Span and Spiers and Boden, I have my recorder in advance mode, worth a look.

Malcolm.
If memory serves me correctly, the arranger was Fritz Spiegl. I just hope he got the repeat fees!
regards Ralphie

It's a medley of tunes representing the countries of the UK. Blessed if I can remember the composer. More or less:

Early one morning
Rule Britannia
Londonderry Air/Annie Laurie
What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor/Greensleeves
Men of Harlech/Scotland the Brave
Early one morning/Rule Britannia
