I absolutely love this cover image, from Sing (‘Britain’s Folk Song Magazine’) No.55, June 1966.
It’s just one of the lovely things which arrived in the post today, along with heaps of newspapers, pamphlets and magazines from the 1960s. I will scan them all up in a post exam world.

Thank you for your comments doojeen, and very sorry to hear that.
Happy to see this post.. This is my mother Maeve!! Thank you for the interest! Tara
I remember Maeve from folk clubs in Dublin in 1965. Nobody could sing “Will ye come to the bower” like Maeve. Sorry to hear that she passed away at such a young age.
