The tune is also featured in cult Brit horror "the Wicker Man" as an instrumental counterpoint to "Summer is Icumen In"!

AnyHoo getting back to the original point didnt Richardplay this at Crop97 with Simon. Vicki and DM on the Keys. Maybe hes ok playing it but cant bring himself to sing it.
Any way does Richard play much pre solo stuff in his concerts anyway?

Not much. He played Matty Groves in the solo acoustic show he did last Nov. |

He played Sloth solo at a gig in Warwick a few years ago  Wasn't quite as long a version as I've heard elsewhere. Cheers Nick |

 This is a query for anyone out there with a deeper knowledge of folk music than me...that's everyone, basically...  I've just been listening to a track by Sweeney's men called "Willie O'Winsbury" - credited to Andy Irvine (no mention of "trad."), which features exactly the same tune that Fairport used for "Farewell, farewell" on the Liege and Lief album - a composition credited solely to Richard Thompson. Is it a traditional tune, or is there a more interesting story behind this....? I'm just curious because of the sheer beauty of the music; I'd like to find out more. Thanks, Ian

Currently in an intenet cafe that charges by the megabite, so apologies for not searching out the link, but there is quite a good film of Pentangle's version on youtube that features Jacqui M, Danny T and Bert J. on dulcimer.
