Why is it so hard...

[norvegicusbass]

...to find bass transcriptions/tabs of Ashley Hutchings? I love FC and love the bass line to Tam Lin in particular but try as I might I cant find a transcript of it anywhere. Anyone give me a few pointers to locating it?

Know what you mean about Tam Lin. Love FC myself, too.
You could try the 'contact' option on FC's website - here - http://www.fairportconvention.com/contact.php
Just ask Peggy for the tabs, maybe...?

Turns out I am quite a shy bairn and didnt ask

Ah. Plan B, then...

Tam Lin is one of those songs that drifts in and out of Fairport's repertoire and, every time it reappears, it has a slightly different arrangement.

If you're talking about the Liege & Lief version then it's a real awkward one as it wanders between off and on beats.

I asked via the Fairport website.
Had a reply back direct from Peggy.

"Hi and they dont exist! Sorry cheers, Peggy."

So, plan C - write yer own...
