Does anyone know how to get licensing from people not found in songfile.com
I'm specifically looking for 1) Harry Robertson (late of Australia)for Norfolk Whalers, and 2)Hugh Jones (song: Marco Polo)I would appreciate any help as I have one week left before printing.
Thanks,
David Coffin

Re the Robertson, you could contact the National Screen and Sound Archive of Australia which reissued the Robertson LP on CD: [e-mail]

Look under "Hughie Jones" for Marco Polo, or contact via the Chanty Cabin Click Here

Ex-Spinner Hughie has written some great songs

I need to refresh this. Still looking for help. Suggestions to date have not yielded what I need. Thanks.

Gloucesterman - if you join Mudcat I can send you (by PM) the email address of Harry's friends who are in contact with his widow, Rita. As far as I am aware Rita holds copyright to Harry's songs. (To join Mudcat see membership link on the top of this page - by the way, PMs are private messages)

In 2001 Screensound re-issued Harry's 1971 album, Whale Chasing Man, & Rita & Screensound are listed as copyright holders. Was there something wrong with Stewie's link? Perhaps you can try the website - www.screensound.gov.au

I have Rita's address, Gloucesterman. As Sandra says, join the Mudcat and we can send Personal Messages.

Alternativesly, e-mail me on [e-mail]

sandra (who never gets her own email address wrong, but is a very original typist)
