Alex Atterson's Charles Causley settings

I was talking to John Connolly in Blakeney last week, and he told me that some of the late Alex Atterson's settings of Causley's poems have recently been re-released on CD. He told me where I might find the details and order a copy, but age and alcohol worked their magic, and by the following morning, the details were more than a tad hazy. Has anyone come across the CD, please?

I imagine Jim Causley (who is a great-nephew or something) would know. Ask him through his MySpace page.

Alex Atterley, although from East Anglia, spent a lot of time in Cornwall and was once accompanist to the singer Brenda Wootton,

Sorry, ATTERSON. Too many leys which might be a reflection of the wine I'm on.
Are these settings by Alex performed by others or by him?

You could try the new Causley museum in Launceston.

Someone called Steve Green also set some of the poems to music.

Anyone seeing Jim please mention it I have sent him an email.

And who is/was Steve Green?
