20 Nov 00 - 04:57 AM (#343821) Subject: Lyr Here: Joseph Taylor, Unto Brigg Fair From: Garry Gillard I have now put all the words of the songs on the LP Unto Brigg Fair, mostly sung by Joseph Taylor, https://mainlynorfolk.info/joseph.taylor/records/untobriggfair.html. Many of the songs are available elsewhere, for example in Tony Barrand's pages. These transcriptions have been checked against what Joseph Taylor and his colleagues sing. I hope this is a useful resource. Garry |

03 Jan 01 - 09:03 AM (#367720) Subject: RE: Lyr Here: Joseph Taylor, Unto Brigg Fair From: Wolfgang Noreen, the mysteries of search have puzzled even the elves here. Enter 'Brigg fair' into the Digitrad Search and you get no hit, enter the same two words into the Digitrad and Forum Search you get the song you want. I have no explanation at all why it is not in the alphabetical list. Wolfgang |

04 Jan 01 - 07:34 PM (#368723) Subject: RE: Lyr Here: Joseph Taylor, Unto Brigg Fair From: GUEST,The bloke in the corner I live 10 miles from Brigg, and we have some excellent folk sessions around here. Cyril Tawney was a great folk traditionalist who collected hundreds of songs, including 'Brigg Fair', and I suspect the UNTO bit of the thread may be part of that song. Anyway, come and be part of the most anarchic, least clique-ridden session you'll ever go to at the Sloop Inn in Barton on Humber, North Lincs, England.It's EVERY Tuesday night, and the sandwiches are great. Ask SKIPJACK and BOXETTE! Keep strummin', squeezin', suckin', and bashin'. |

But I've never heard of him being a major _collector_ of rural English songs, and I'd like to know where it's documented that he collected "Brigg Fair" and what the version is. Unless of course he "collected" it off Joseph Taylor's recording made by Percy Grainger in 1905 or so, which is what I did. |
