Subject: RE: BS: Who Was Cushie Butterfield?. From: Scrump Date: 24 Jan 07 - 06:04 AM She was just a big bonny lass, wasn't she? And she liked "hor beor" as I believe it should be pronounced (why is there never a Geordie around when you need one?) |

Subject: RE: BS: Who Was Cushie Butterfield?. From: Alec Date: 24 Jan 07 - 03:04 AM The "chep from Shipcote" is alluded to in the version I know. Though it has just occurred to me that "Cushie" is also an English slang term meaning "easy",when applied to a woman I should imagine that meant pretty much what it does now. Might Ridley have been intentionally exploiting this ambiguity? |

Subject: RE: BS: Who Was Cushie Butterfield?. From: John Routledge Date: 23 Jan 07 - 08:14 PM Legend has it that the Geordie Ridley wrote a now generally unsung verse indicating that Cushie was having an "illegal liason" with a lad from Shipcote (sp) Threat of physical retribution caused the verse to be removed!! I therefore assume that Cushie Butterfield was fairly directly based on a real person :0) |

Subject: RE: BS: Who Was Cushie Butterfield?. From: Alec Date: 23 Jan 07 - 11:46 AM I have not yet been able to ascertain her existence, but Geordie Ridley did often write about people he knew personally so I think she may have been real. |

Subject: RE: BS: Who Was Cushie Butterfield?. From: Alec Date: 23 Jan 07 - 10:46 AM Cushie Butterfield as in the Newcastle song may have been a real person. Certainly all the individuals mentioned in Blaydon Races were.As to who she was beyond being a Clay seller I don't know but will try to find out.(I do remember seeing what purported to be a period portrait of her when I was in primary school but that may have been a hoax) |
