There is a Cyril Tawney discography here, with no sign of an album with that name. Tony Rose did release an album called Banks of Green Willow - might there have been some confusion with that one? |

Banks of Green Willow was indded a song Tony used to sing a lot, it is possible Cyril recorded it on the same lp that had on one april morning |

From what my friend implied I understood that the recording was withdrawn although a few poor quality cassettes are still extant. I just thought it was an interesting story and wondered if anyone else knew of it. |

His view is that Rosemary was quite an assiduous archivist of Cyril's work & of the site, and that she will have passed the material on. I hope that is the case. |

It includes his large collection of correspondence, articles, cuttings, photographs and other documents relating to the modern British Folk Revival, as well as to his personal career. The results of his fieldwork in the West of England, which he did mainly in the 1960s, are held by the British Library Sound Archive." |
