		<description><![CDATA[Jon has this one down as “Possibly the first folk song I ever &#8216;performed&#8217; &#8211; in a campfire scene in a school play. Basically a version of Verdant Braes Of Skreen and as before learnt from Planxty.”
I’ll refer you straight back to May 4th and the other version of this. There are several variants with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon calls this one “A bizzarre little ditty from the Coppers that feels like it may have started life as a poem with a very peculiar meter.”
I’ll agree that it has something of the poetic about it and seems almost too thoughtfully structured to be anything but a very specific composition. For me it seems [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon recalls “I remember my Gran (who died recently) singing me this as a child. If it had only been traditional I could get lots of folk points for that! I often sing this at festival soundchecks when the audience are watching (an awkward arrangement!) &#8211; the audience normally finish the chorus off.”
Sounds like a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon says, “Such a beautiful tune this. Steeleye borrowed it for a chorus for Wife Of Usher&#8217;s Well, and who can blame them? Lovely lyric as well. I&#8217;ve decided to drop the last verse though because I&#8217;m less keen on it.”
Another from the Child collection (#219) and a rather strange, poetic song. This Mudcat thread [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon calls this “A gentle little song with a great chorus. We sing this at Royal Traditions nights at the Royal in Dungworth.”
Everywhere I look this seems to come up as being a Cornish song, but things are slightly confused as there is also a version that involves a soldier or ‘bold grenadier.’ It seems [...]]]></description>

That Silly Sisters album again, which I can happily say I now own, having found a very nice vinyl copy in Bristol for a reasonable price. I haven’t had the chance to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon calls this a “Nice simple little courtship song this. I feel like they were probably courting before the song starts rather than a chance meeting &#8211; so similar to Brigg Fair in feel. Often used as example of the 5:4 meter in traditional song, although that doesn&#8217;t come across here.”
I can only agree with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon simply attributes this as “From Planxty. It has a beautiful melody, and there&#8217;s something about the story that rings true.”
On first glance this seems a straightforward case of a woman passed over for another with more wealth and Planxty’s notes at Mainly Norfolk associate this with the famine. That may be true, but there’s [...]]]></description>

Also heard Carthy sing it recently, also brilliant, and he made the pertinent point that there aren&#8217;t many courtship ballads where the girl, having accepted the boy&#8217;s advances, then says &#8216;right, that&#8217;s me, [...]]]></description>
