Bushes and Briars

"Bushes and Briars" is an English folksong (Roud 1027). A phonograph recording was made in 1904 of Mrs Humphreys of Ingrave, Essex by Lucy Broadwood and Ralph Vaughan Williams, although the recording may actually be of Broadwood herself.[1] The recording of Mrs Humphreys was included in 1998 on the EFDSS anthology "A Century of Song".[2]

Vaughan Williams published an arrangement in 1908.[3]

A version collected at Piddlehinton, Dorset, in 1905 was printed in James Reeves's The Everlasting Circle, 1960.[4] The song was included in Barry Skinner's 1978 album Bushes & Briars (Fellside FE011).[5]
