The Weaver and the Factory Maid by Deborah Grabien

Folk musician Ringan Laine is given Lumbe's Cottage in Somerset in lieu of payment for work that he's done for Albert Wychsale. Soon after he moves in, he discovers that both the barn and house are haunted. With the help of girlfriend, Penny, and his fellow musicians in his group, Broomfield Hill, he attempts to uncover who the ghosts are and tries to get rid of them. This mystery is the first in a series that melds together folk ballads, ghosts, haunted houses, and murders that have happened in the past. I wrote about the newest book New-Slain Knight in November.
