Yes:- PURCELL,H "A Dozen or so BAWDY Catches"; A "Cut+Paste" Job straight
from the Catalogue Database!! PURCELL was ONE of England's MANY Musical
Geniuses - Just because the "Plebs" did Not & DO NOT know, is NOT to say
there were No English Composers from Purcell to Elgar!! Even the BBC
continued this "Furphy" with the Programme "Land without Music" - "Bloody
Load of Olde Rot"!! Just given the Catalogue/Database a "fit" = TRY this
list:- Avison, Bond, Brooks, Chilcott, Garth, Hall Hargrave, Hayes, Her.on;
Hook, Marsh, Shaw, Travers!! That should keep the "Anti - Poms" Quiet for
the weekend & should give You (Bob) a job for a day or two??
Helios/Hyperion may have some?? The Parley of Instruments [reckon that
name is "A1"] has recorded some?? Bill(Y) 1/2 Way Round the Tiny Globe -
but as English as Jellied Eels outside "The Lion & Lamb" Euston London on
a Friday Night "1/2" Full!!
