It's not listed on IMDb, and there a good chance that if anyone knew, they would.

Does that mean I can't find out ???

I know I sold the 7" single in 1976 when I worked in the Record Shop, just truying to think who sang it, it was on Decca Records I think.

Although it is a traditional (folk) song it is credited thus:

Theme Music - David Fanshawe
Sung by Alex Glasgow

What it meant was I tried to find out using the most likely source of information (I also tried googling, but no luck), and I couldn't find out. Looks like you've had an answer since then anyway.
