Bushes and Briars (author unknown)

I've just come back from a second folk festival weekend, at Folk by the Sea in Kiama. What a fabulous little festival by the sea!

I uploaded a recording of the concert that Songbrother gave at the Yass Irish and Celtic Festival the previous weekend and immediately the broken YouTube copyright bots claimed the video for this song as owned by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Ralph didn't write the melody, but wrote it down from the singing of a Mr Pottipher in 1903.

Ralph also didn't write the words, as these came from broadsides as early as 1813:

This recording is 100% my own arrangement, but no doubt the content ID system will try to claim it. And while it will get released after 30 days when I dispute the claim, that is 30 days of a music label running (and profiting) from ads on my content.
