Downloading and unzipping is a bit of a challenge on some devices, especially if you're not a Dropbox user. And if you are, Dropbox should just play them in app of browser. The tracks are clear - someone will recognise the musicians. |

Maybe the Tannihill Weavers or Battlefield Band? https://www.dropbox.com/s/9d8cbg5irufwk00/highland%20laddie.mp3?dl=0 The History Lesson appears to be a performance by Leon Rosselson https://www.dropbox.com/s/7h9fgdld5uqkpa3/history%20lesson.mp3?dl=0 Maybe Peter Bellamy or Mike Waterson? https://www.dropbox.com/s/igr5fenzfgrebp3/Well%20Met%20My%20Loving%20Friends%20of%20Art.mp3?dl=0 |

02 Aug 18 - 12:56 PM (#3941109) Subject: RE: Folk on 2 - Artists From: GUEST,kenny "Hieland Laddie" is definitely "The Tannahill Weavers" - from the album "Mermaid's Song". |

02 Aug 18 - 02:08 PM (#3941118) Subject: RE: Folk on 2 - Artists From: DaveRo Sound Tradition use a harmonium. Are there female voices in there? My wife thinks so, I'm not so sure. |

02 Aug 18 - 02:39 PM (#3941123) Subject: RE: Folk on 2 - Artists From: GUEST,SB Great - thanks guys. We're getting there. Meanwhile the 'Well Met ...' track sounds (to me) like the Watersons. Leastwise the harmonium might be Dolly Collins'. We've sent an email to Sound Tradition. |

02 Aug 18 - 04:36 PM (#3941142) Subject: RE: Folk on 2 - Artists From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Brian Peter was on Folk on 2 performing "History lesson" on 20th May 1992 if that narrows down the date. Might have been repeated in another programme that I don't have the running order of. Robin Madge |

02 Aug 18 - 05:14 PM (#3941152) Subject: RE: Folk on 2 - Artists From: Reinhard "Well Met My Loving Friends of Art" is actually "The Musical Society" (Roud 24257), as sung by Canny Fettle on their 1977 Traditional Sound album Trip to Harrogate with Dave Hillery singing lead and Phil Bartlett playing harmonium. |
