The book Hardy collected those tunes in, is displayed in the Dorset County Museum, along with his violin and other personal items. Some of the tunes Hardy collected can be found in a book by Dave Townsend - "The Thomas Hardy Song Book", available from the author, and anything by The Mellstock Band. Tim Laycock is another Dorset singer to look into, as he also recorded music from the West Gallery tradition.

John and Martha are my 3x great grandparents, making John and William Dunford of the Winterbourne Abbas band, my second cousins, 2 and 3 times removed. The band played in the church until 1881 when the organ was installed, but continued playing for village event and carolling for more than a decade. They finally broke up 2 years before John died in 1897. William died in 1943, having been a member of the band and quire (church choir) for 63 years.

On the Theodorakis Tragoudia tis Agonas LP recorded in London in January 1971, one of the listed musicians is Rose Simpson, who played bass in the Incredible String Band at that time. Do you know if that was ideed the same Rose?
