OH BUT THEY SANG BONNY Ewan McVicar has created the theysangbonny.website, gathering together information from diverse sources on Scotland’s women singers and song makers, and Scottish songs that feature women, from the earliest 12th Century lyrics up till 1960. Gaelic women songmakers, Scots ballads and songs and the ‘collectors’ who had them printed, gently-born Scots re-makers of traditional songs into art songs, the move from print to sound recordings, the Traveller singers, women in Scottish song lyrics and more.
