The Little Musgrave

The Little Musgrave - Trad. arr. Tinto Singing School

This is an English folk ballad, also known as 'Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard’ or ‘Matty Groves’. It is one of the Child Ballads (Number 81) collected by 19th-century American scholar Francis James Child, and may be more than 300 years old. There are many wonderful recorded versions of this song, including Christy Moore with Planxty, Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley and Nic Jones, amongst others.

The Tinto Singing School is a joint residential between Scotland Sings and Tinto Summer School every July at Wiston Lodge, near Lanark in Scotland. As you know singing is brilliant fun, it makes you smile and when people sing together their days just get better! The school aims to encourage young people (men and woman) from 16-25 to come along to Wiston Lodge and work with tutors in a relaxed setting with beautiful food, nice people, group singing and song sessions.
