Subject: RE: First Folk Song You Sang in Public
I remember Margie Sinclair yonks since at Loughborough Festival in a threesome?
'Button up and aye be cheery and tak a dram afore/before you go'
A The Springhill Disaster (Peggy Seeger)
B Singing of Martin Carthy I believe
C The Oak Tree, Richmond, North Yorkshire. Now knocked into houses. I'm waiting for the blue plaque.
D 1964 best guess
E 19/20 Just left school and got a job (you could do that then)
F Clearly well past it. I've got all the years in, all the stamps on my card, do I really need to keep turning out?
G Yes as with all songs when the occasion suggests it
