Does anyone have the lyrics and tune to Mike Lyddiard's Farewell To The Fells, as sung by Paul and Linda Adams on their (1978) "Among the Old Familiar Mountains" album? I had the album - can't find it and I no longer have the means of listening to it anyway! I had the lyrics written out - they have disappeared!

Many thanks, in advance.

Could it be FAREWELL YOU NORTHERN HILLS by Ewan MacColl ? Perhaps not !!!!! Just a thought .

Jen,

If you have or know someone with a record player, the album is available through a few different Ebay sellers for around $10 each. If you can get me a video of it I could try and transcribe it.

Normally I would leap at the chance to get a new record but this weekend I spent more than I care to admit and should probably hold off for a while.

I am sure I haven't thrown the album away but can't find it anywhere so maybe I shall have to buy it again! I did ask Paul Adams if there was any chance of it being digitally remastered but it seems not. I was just hoping that there might be someone in here who was still in possession of it!
Thanks for your suggestions though.
