Books and Records mostly and a bit of Art.
I need to finish a little early today as I have a meeting, so I'll finish in Staines. We've had a really good set of songs today. Thanks for all your input. #placenames youtube.com/watch?v=QEhY...

Many have covered this well known song (Roud 1083) but I am sharing Kirsty’s version ( The lovely Kirsty is one of my folk song/singing tutors) This song was collected by Percy Grainger. (I lived in Brigg for many years too!) #placenames @tradsongtues.bsky.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=fK0r...

Believed to have originated as a London broadside but found in many places. An excellent version but my favourite is by Hedy West. #placenames

We'll move over to Yarmouth for this next song. Lots of variants on this but this was collected in Middlesbrough, where I went to school. Great singing from the Young Tradition. #placenames youtube.com/watch?v=JcTl...

@davef-moonwood570.bsky.social · 3d agoA song we owe to Peter O'Toole who part-remembered it from the singing of an elderly relative. But where does Kilkenny, or possibly, Kilmenny, fit in? youtu.be/EIMFzicrpOg?...

@davef-moonwood570.bsky.social · last wk.youtu.be/zarl3ecTM_s?... I am not counting this as a song, though there are one or two trad songs included. If you have not heard it; it's an experience. I got my CD in the now sadly defunct Folk Devils in Whitby.
