Since coming to live in East Anglia I have been looking for songs collected in the area where I now live. The newly issued Classic English Folk Songs revised by Malcolm Douglas, published by EFDSS in association with South Riding Folk Network in 2003 had much expanded notes on the song Lucy Wan which I have known for many years and the book included some biographical details of the source singer, Mrs Charlotte Dann ( nee Few) of Cottenham. Tracklist 1 Nutting Song ( Roud 509) 2 The Cuckoo and the Nightingale 3 Sheringham Breakdown / Yarmouth Breakdown 4 Elwina of Waterloo (Roud 1566) 5 Lowlands of Germany ( Child 92) 6 The Hungry Army ( Roud 1746) 7 Lucy Wan ( Child 51) 8 Dennington Bell and March of the Men of Devon 9 Lord Thomas & Fair Eleanor(Child 73) 10 Sun Assembly 11 Hey down derry 12 Polly Vaughan 13 Tafarn y Wheatsheaf/ Rasus Doncaster 14 We'll be all smiles tonight ( Roud 83) |
