Little Robyn Obit: Neil Colquhoun NZ Folklorist 2014 (4) RE: Obit: Neil Colquhoun NZ Folklorist 2014 31 Oct 14


Bill Morris gave a workshop on the song Davy Lowston at the Wellington Folk Festival last weekend and at the end he played this video. Last year, while he was researching the song, he visited Neil Colquhoun who played it for him.
This is what Bill has posted:
I was saddened to hear via this forum of Neil Colquhoun's passing. I feel very lucky and privileged to have met and interviewed him last year and to meet the lovely Barbie. Although the effects of his stroke were obvious, his wit, passion and joie de vivre were very much intact and with my camera I was able to capture the infectious sparkle in his eye as he talked about recording Davy Lowston with the Song Spinners and presenting it to the public for the first time in Auckland. Here's the clip I filmed of Neil playing Davy Lowston on his piano, which I showed at the end of my discussion about the song at the Wellington folk festival.
