Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: Tootler Date: 21 Nov 10 - 11:25 AM "When Fishes Fly" a lovely song and excellently performed by Mary Humphreys and Anahata. I heard it sung this summer by a 14 year old girl who sang it with an assurance and maturity which belied her years. Absolutely wonderful, it brought a lump to my throat. To hear someone of her age singing a traditional folk song and singing it so well was magical. Olddude, I take your point about the worries we have about self promotion - "vanity publishing" as it is sometimes referred to. I think it is something in the British Character. I was brought up on the view that you should not be too "forward" but let your actions speak for you. I am also the worlds worst salesman. So, gritting my teeth, here is a link to my You Tube channel. I've already posted some of the more recent stuff earlier in the thread. |
Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: johncharles Date: 21 Nov 10 - 12:22 PM Dear Tootler, what is that one handed squeezebox thing you are playing? Are they hard to get hold of? John. |
Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: Nick Date: 21 Nov 10 - 03:01 PM Playing with my wife at a charity event recently. The sound is out of sync with the video as I sometimes find happens on Youtube which is a bit weird Both Sides Now but I also sometimes things like this to help out Rockier or Four Strong Winds (Johnny Cash changed the tune I know and I just preferred it...) or Summer before the War |
Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: Tootler Date: 21 Nov 10 - 03:45 PM That "one handed squeezebox thing" I am playing is a shruti box. It plays a drone over which you can sing or play. You can find out more about it in this thread Mine is this one (low G version) |
Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: Bounty Hound Date: 21 Nov 10 - 03:51 PM Never one to miss an opportunity for some gratuitous self promotion, if a bit of largely traditionally based folk/rock is your taste, you'll find five of our songs here: http://www.reverbnation.com/thebountyhounds John |

Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: GUEST,cs Date: 21 Nov 10 - 05:34 PM "Cleveland Hills and Down Along the Tees" Yes, thanks for those Tootler. Enjoyed watching the images depicting first the staid dignity of the hills and then the nomadic sporting of the river. Especially nice to see you putting your work celebrating your local landscape into the collective commons. Reminded me what this folk lark is all about. |

Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: olddude Date: 24 Nov 10 - 04:31 PM Wav "The "wondrous cross" is a lovely song. I think you do a fine job when you play the recorder as I cannot play a note on one and envy anyone that can play anything on one of them. Just as a gentle suggestion, maybe a little work on your phrasing with the vocals. You drop a bit here and there ok. Sometime it is just simple timing .. I think it could make the songs much stronger. These are just simple suggestions as I am no expert by any means. I appreciate you putting your music out there. Thank you as I have not heard any of these songs before Dan |
Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: Tootler Date: 24 Nov 10 - 06:28 PM How about a Playford tune?

Subject: RE: How about some British Catter Music? From: Tootler Date: 17 Feb 11 - 10:53 AM Johnny Cope Johnny Cope is possibly better known as a song written in 1745 celebrating the defeat of the Government forces under Gen. Sir John Cope by the Jacobite Army of Bonny Prince Charlie at the battle of Prestonpans. The tune has also been widely used a basis for sets of fiddle variations in Scotland and the North of England and there are several manuscripts with such sets of variations. It has also made its way to Ireland where it is played as a six strain hornpipe. My own effort, played on Tenor Recorder, is based on a four strain set from a Manuscript from Co. Durham dated about 1850 to which I have added two variations of my own to make a six strain set. |
