I was listening to Boldwood performing Bold Britain on "feet don't fail me now" and was struck by the extent to which it sounded like the tune for a song. Has anyone ever come across any lyrics to this tune?

Never heard it and I can't find a playable sample or a score. Source?

Does this Spotify link work? - probably will work if you are a Spotify member and are logged in. It's a great melody.

I was a Spotify member when it was free, no way could I afford it now.

Am slightly confusing myself here. From the above link, I can get to this youtube entry: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhuXooEfsWU where the tune is named as 'Tunbridge Beauties/ Galloway Girth'

Which is it?

That LetsLoop page just loops. No sound, it wants me to sign up, and I get widgets suggesting "other listening options" which don't work. There are a couple of similar sites that don't work any better. I've tried two different browsers.

http://abcnotation.com doesn't know of any ABC transcription.

Google Image search doesn't show a score.

I'm not about to buy a CD from a group I've never heard of.

I give up. Maybe somebody at Whitby Folk Week will know it.

The LetsLoop link works for me in California - but then again, it may not work in the UK. The "play" button is white on a yellow background, and it's hard to see.
As far as I know, limited use of Spotify is still free in the U.S., although I pay five bucks a month to use Spotify without limits or commercials.
