Maria was thrilled when Rod Shearman recorded her Jack-in-the-Green song on his album

Here's to Friends (recorded in 1999)

 

Carole Etherton & Andrew McKay covered Scarecrow on their album Characters in 2006

 

Blanche Rowen & Mike Gulston – included one of Maria's songs on their album The Dance Goes On

This is one of the reviews. High praise (justifiably!) for them – but most especially for Maria's song.

 

R2 (Rock'n'Reel) magazine, Jan/Feb 2014 issue:  review by Oz Hardwick

"Elsewhere, mediaeval courtly and troubadour verses are given lively airings while, at the other end of the scale, perhaps the album's highlight is Maria Cunningham's 'Spirit of the Trees', a modern song steeped in legend. It's the jewel in a glittering crown."

 

These are just some the ones that we (the compilers of this site) are aware of. There possibly are more, but more importantly we know that her songs are still being sung in the folk clubs and singarounds, exactly as she wished.
