Does anyone know anything about the composer of The King of Rome (second nam Sudbury) sung by June Tabor on the Aqaba album? I'd appreciate an email reply to karl@newsfile.net. Thanks.

Dave Sudbury. I believe he lives in England. Garnet Rogers sings this too, and has talked about him in concert, but I don't remember much more.

Cheers,

Brian McNeill says David Sudbury is from Leeds and possibly still living there. He wrote the song about twelve years ago when he was on the dole and submitted it to the first (?) 'Songsearch' competition where it came fourth. Brian thinks it should have come first. That's all I could find. And no, I don't know more about 'Songsearch'. Maybe Karl does. - Susanne

Hi Folks,

Should be easy (I hope). Planning to record King of Rome, and needing to know the composer's name, and if possible some pointers on how to contact same.

David Sudbury wrote King of Rome. And before anyone brings it up yet again, The Cat That Roamed was written by Malcolm Austin.

You don't need to call the same if you are in the UK, just get in touch with the MCPS or PRS. Once you know how many copies of your album you are going to print, you can then pay the appropriate royalty. If you need to do further repressings, then additional royalties will need to be paid.

Don, I assume that you will be recording your (or is it Clive's) parody of the song, rather than the original.
