Adam Buckham

I learned this delightful little ditty from Brian Kelly and where he got it from, Lord knows! Having diligently searched the Internet, I've only found a single reference to a Northumberland group who have recorded it. This reminds me of what a tremendous knowledge of folk-music that Brian has. Whilst in the Idle Fellows, he sang it beautifully, sometimes with a verse or to of his own to stretch it out.
