Subject: RE: Big thank you
A big thank you to all who helped me with getting lyrics, phonetics and general musical advice for the performance of this song at my sister's wedding in June. Her friend Helen (another London/Irish individual) played it first on tin whistle, then I sang it unaccompanied, then she picked up the mandolin and accompanied me (we obviously didn't believe in doing things by halves!) The acoustics in the church were wonderful, and of course I had to sing with the band at the reception (Blues Suede Shoes, as you do) and at the very end an unacocmpanied version of Danny Boy at the request of the ceilidh band caller, who went by the name of Mrs. Fussie (if your ever in Yorkshire, Golcar, look them up as they are a great band - The Fussies). All in all it was the best wedding I have ever been to (biased though I may be) and your help certainly played a big part in helping me to feel more relaxed on the day - thanks again
