Hi ho, hi ho, holiday, the best day of the year

Ok, who recognised the song 'Matty Groves' and who can remind me of the band that sang it in the... 70s? I know it was a Famous Band, and I will KICK MYSELF when I know the name.

In other news, Ye Olde Manne and I are off to Scarborough tomorrow for a week. (Alas, not to the Fair.) I'm hoping for fossils, but it looks as though we'll get Heavy Showers and Sunny Intervals according to the BBC weather page. I should be used to it, that's the kind of weather we usually get when on holiday.

Heigh, ho, the wind and the rain.

ETA: Youtube was my friend! I'm thinking of the Joan Baez version (*kicks self*) though Ye Olde Manne reminds me we heard the Fairport Convention version in Canterbury in 1977 (*kicks self again*)
