GUEST,Dave Hunt | Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club (375* d) | RE: Songs you shouldn't sing in UK folk club | 30 Jan 10 |
I was once privileged to hear the late great Frank Harte sing 'Johnny I Hardly Knew You' - very slowly and with so much feeling. A wonderful moving rendition which really made one appreciate the horror of the events. After all it's a song about a poor soldier getting seriously wounded - not a jolly 'come all ye' which is how it's usually sung. And I'm sure some of you remember the great version of Wild Rover by the Dransfields - some different words and sightly different tune |
