I've really enjoyed delving in the digitrad but when I try to bring up "The Fair Flower of Northumberland" its telling me no match even though it is listed twice. Thank you for any help anyone can give. |

Don't type the full title into the box; flower of northumberland will find both versions for you. It's often a good idea to enclose your keywords in square brackets so the search knows that it's a phrase, but in this case you don't need to. You can also use the new "Digitrad and Forum Search" facility on the main Forum page; this will also find references in discussion threads. Have fun! Malcolm |

I have both versions now and they are both slightly different than the one I already had, which is great! I may not speak out very often or have the time to visit as much as I would like, but I really do like the Mudcat! |

It's on her Folk-Legacy recording, of course, which is where I "first hear" a lot of songs. Sandy |
