How to get permission fm Sydney Carter

Subject: Permission fm Sydney Carter?
From: AllisonA(Animaterra)

I want to do a very limited number of cds (under $500) using Bells of Norwich. But I still want Sydney Carter to get his due. How can I get in touch with him or his agent/ Is he even still alive?

Allison, you might get more info Here they seem to be his publishers? I understand( can't remeber from where) That Mr Carter suffers from either Alzheimes, or similar, which is a tragedy, for such a talented man..

He was definitely alive a couple of years back. He was reportedly (with some justification) upset at Flatley's use of the name "Lord of the Dance". I think Martin Carthy is in touch with him, so if you don't get any joy from his publishers you could try that route or Martin's agent.

"Julian of Norwich" copyright Stainer & Bell Ltd (23 Gruneisen Rd, London N3 1DZ).
Sydney still with us, at least as of a couple of weeks ago (letter from Nadia Cattouse arrived here in Australia today).

I was a bit startled one morning, a year or so ago, to hear Rabbi Lionel Blue talking about his friend, Sydney Carter, and Alzheimer's on Radio 4's Today programme's "Thought for the day."

Hi, Animaterra - the no-hassle way in the U.S. is to get a license from the Harry Fox Agency at http://www.songfile.com. It costs 8 cents a copy, in lots of 500. For 500 CD's, that's $40, plus I think there's a $2 processing fee.

I think the proper name of the song is "Julian of Norwich," but it's also listed under "Bells of Norwich."

I got licenses for Debby McClatchy for her latest CD, and it was a very easy process.

Aggh! I can't use the site - even for a search cause of the deadly "failed JS" errors...

OK, any such useful thingies for Australia, or other countries?

....and that settles the "Is Nadia Cattouse still alive?" question from another thread as well!
