I was crusing & I found Joe Stead put a video of me singing "old Dollar Mamie", a double cross cutting prison work song.

Old Dollar Mamie

It is a blessing to find yourself. And if it took Youtube, who are we to complain?


Congratulations, Barry.

PS I shan't be able to watch it until tomorrow. However, I expect it'll be really darned good, as usual in work from you. I'm looking forward to it.

That's marvellous, Barry. Joe Stead has suprised us all with some great videos - yourself, Jim Couza (who sadly died on August 2), and Calennig, a blast from the past taken Harry Secombe's Highway programme!) Good man, Joe!

One comment directed at those who have not seen Barry sing otherwise. The Youtube video is nice, but the sound quality does not adequately convey the passion, nuance and emotional power Barry brings to these work songs and shanties. He is absolutely awesome, as opposed to just very good.

mmmmmmmmm I have been banging on about barry's performances ever since i saw him in Portsmouth and we were lucky to have him and the equally marvelous Ken Schatz across the pond this year, last month indeed. I have to say that in my opinion this years Scarborough Seafest was the best and Barry and Ken's contribution to that was immense, along with DebC cap'n Birdseye Banjiman et al. I am astonished that the wild man from Barstan isn't a household name!

Seamus, you gotta do something really bad to rate a place on the "chain". You're to much of a good boy & besides they would last long working with you humor, can't laugh & work at the same time.

Janie, you'll find me again at the Getaway this yr, though I may still be lost

Thanks for all the kind comments

Some Brit who fancies himself an Irishman, I think. ; )


The video's been in my computer since last October. I'm finally making some headway in dealing with hours of video footage.   (It's fun but very time consuming.)

You sound great.

I have another one of you and Mick. A song about a guy named McCarty.   It should be up soon.

That's great Genie, thanks, can't wait to see it, what surprizes.
The song about "some guy named McCarty" would be the "WOOLLOOMOOLOO LAIR". I don't remember if I accompanied myself on bodhran on that & if I did weither it was Mick's drum or mine. Probably mine, it takes Mick a long time to get his out of it's "shell". :-)

Thanks for telling me the song title, Barry. Haven't got that clip edited yet but here you are at the Sunday night concert, singing the song about
Guantanamo Bay

DK if that's the title. I can edit stuff like that at YT, of course.

Oh, wonderful, Genie! I found the lyrics to Salonica online and saved that video and watched it with the lyrics right beside it to be sure I didn't misunderstand anything.

I'm being stalked by the video fairy, thanks again Genie. Am I gonna have to put u on the payroll cuz I'm flat busted unless we can somehow "busk by video" & make some pennies?

No need to change nothing, Guantanamo Bay to the title.

Again, thanks for all the kind comments

Well, if you can figure out how to earn a good living doing folk music -- well, you'll be a few steps ahead of most folkies.
But you're welcome to use the videos for self promo or for promo for FSGW, etc.   When you earn your first million, you can double my current agent fee, OK?

I'm just glad you're OK with the videos being shared, cuz I think it's agreed you give great chantey.

Refreshing this thread, to remind people to check out Barry's online videos.

So glad we still can listen to that great voice. Barry left us way too soon.

Here is a video Amos made at this year's Getaway of Barry singing Banks Of The Callow. Less than two weeks before Barry left us to sing with that too-rapidly growing heavenly band.

Most welcome, Gnu. I'm just glad I was able to capture a few video clips of Barry singing last year and put them online for him and others. Especially now.

I don't know how many Mudcatters know it, but Barry apparently started his own YouTube Channel 3 or 3 months ago. It's just called "MrBarryFinn" at You Tube, and if you type that in their search box, you should find it.   

Barry apparently embedded a couple of the videos I posted on my channel (WildeNotesMusic) at his own channel, so there are at least 2 places you can find "Salonika" and "Guantanamo Bay" (and maybe "Woolloomooloo Lair" too) at YT.   (He apprarently thought that Ebbie had made those videos. Either that, or she is the one who brought them over to his channel from mine for him.)   

I'm wondering if Justine will be maintaining the MrBarryFinn channel at YouTube in future, and maybe adding more videos of Barry.   The channel now has the Banks Of the Callow clip, Old Dollar Mamie (I think), several Finn And Haddie videos, etc. But I'll bet there are more floating around.
