Subject: RE: West Country Songs workshop 15 Oct Lewes From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 10 Oct 11 - 03:16 AM As part of the workshop day Tom and Barbara have invited people to learn a West Country song (specimens supplied on booking) or to bring a West Country song they already know. I think I might bring one I learned from Charlie Jose of Boscastle. Valmai (Lewes) |

Subject: RE: West Country Songs workshop 15 Oct Lewes From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 14 Oct 11 - 10:55 AM I'm delighted to see that one of the songs Tom and Barbara have just emailed me to be used in the workshop tomorrow is The Exmoor Ram, which my husband Meic recorded from Nobby Clarke in a pub in Swimbridge, Devon, about forty years ago.
