Some notes just for the record. I've had this one in mind for a few years, and with the help of Martin, John, Sue, Maggie, Mick and Bob, Brian & Keith, it has finally appeared. Without their huge enthusiasm, and professionalism, it would just have stayed a nutmeg on a pear tree. My heart-felt thanks to all concerned.
These are all “old songs” that most of us will have learnt at school or in our early years, and are often our first encounter with “Folk Songs”. I believe that they have stood the test of time, and also of some of the tratments they have had to endure. We have performed them with instruments not generally associated with their other musical arrangements - hammered dulcimer, concertina, Irish pipes, Northumbrian pipes, melodeon, whistle, and guitar; we hope thereby that the younger generation will hear these sounds and become interested, and that they will want to discover more about traditional music and songs, and the wide range encompassed by the label “Folk”. But this record is not aimed solely at the young; it is meant for the enjoyment of all.
These songs were obtained from the vast collections of folk songs in the library of Cecil Sharp House, London.
I hope that you will have as much enjoyment with this record as we have had in the making of it.

Thank you very much is what i need to say. As for this one it missing from my collection and surely must be one more special work by this great musician.
Is the password for this correct? Can't get it to extract using WinRar. Maybe there's a problem with the filenames...
Awesome - many many thanks
