A selection of songs - humorous, nursery and game songs etc - as collected in Devon and Cornwall from 1810 to 1964, and there's not a nursery rhyme among them. The album includes several items which were popular in Cyril's club repertoire, such as The Snail, John Jago and Old Daddy Fox, with the bonus of some fine accompaniments by Tom Paley (guitar) and Trevor Crozier (jaw's harp, mandolin and concertina). |

I heard Cyril Tawney do a children's concert at Whitby Folk Week several years ago, and he was absolutely delightful. He was a man who always sang with a twinkle in his eye. -Joe- |
