18 Apr 13 - 11:01 AM (#3505303) Subject: RE: English Tune Manuscripts in ABC From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Chris - I've just looked at the link page and there's no reference to Clarke, Feltwell, 1858 or Norfolk on the page. Are we looking at different pages? Mick |

18 Apr 13 - 11:04 AM (#3505305) Subject: RE: English Tune Manuscripts in ABC From: Wolfhound person As you have Crawhall (1877) in there, here are 3 additions: William, Percival & John Dixon of Ingoe near Stamfordham, dated 1733/8, orig. in Perth Libray, pub. Matt Seattle 1995 as The Master Piper. Jury is out over whether the Dixons were themselves musicians, but Percival was time-served scrivener. Research ongoing and active. John Smith of Cresswell, Northumberland fl 1840s. Indexed only: orig in possession of NPS. Smith was a stonemason by day and probably a fiddler. He lived on the Cresswell estate, landlords Cresswell-Baker, although himself born in N. Tyne valley John Straffen MS, 1848, Angerton Northumberland. Another fiddle MS from a family of estate gardeners. Abc in progress: orig in possession of NPS, arrived with the Forster Charlton collection of archives, no history of where its been for 150 years. Straffen MS has one tune whose only other occurreence is in a Dorset collection (thanks to contact with Tim Laycock for that!) Last two available to inspect on request: some scans also on file. Hope this helps Paws |

19 Apr 13 - 02:20 PM (#3505875) Subject: RE: English Tune Manuscripts in ABC From: Chris Partington Thanks for pointing to that ommission Jack. I've now added your ABCs to the first list. It isn't on the second list of course, as it isn't a manuscript. |
