Subject: Ray Padgett new 2 CD album From: r.padgett Date: 24 Dec 10 - 11:35 AM Just escaped, hope self publicity is allowed? 49 songs with accompanying booklet of words, which are in Les Barker's words "fairly accurate" ~ *Traditionalist English Songs* acappella, just right for a resource and for one off listening as well sit back and listen to the words and the stories! I hope! Ray |

Subject: RE: Ray Padgett new 2 CD album From: r.padgett Date: 25 Dec 10 - 03:49 AM Just to clarify ~ Les Barker hasnt heard it, I was using his phrase to desrribe my word processing, which is not too bad Les may or may not endorse the recordings Sorry Les! John MacKenzie liked the first CD, must have fallen asleep on Christmas Eve!! LOL All the best and I do hope the few that have escaped are liked, and the booklet is in fact, in my view, an interesting read carrying some other snippets of info and merriment Ray |

Subject: RE: Ray Padgett new 2 CD album From: GUEST,Scowie Date: 25 Dec 10 - 04:29 AM Raymond, Kindest fraternal greetings from the sunny side of the Pennines Firstly let me wish you Seasonal Greetings, All The Best for Christmas and the New Year. May I extend this greeting to all at Mudcat? Word had already reached the County Palatine of this recording and publication, as we have a spy in every camp! and as a One we wish you every success with it. It is cheering to me that here we have a Gentleman, who for many, many years has toiled away at the coalface of proper traditional Folk Music and Song, who has been encouraging to everyone in it, and has even promoted events for it,now here he is finally getting some time in the spotlight himself. I could not be more pleased. Mine's a Pint! Cheers, Scowie |

Subject: RE: Ray Padgett new 2 CD album From: GUEST,Scowie Date: 31 Dec 10 - 11:35 AM I received this recording two days before New Years Eve, (they have strange notions on the suitable time for such releases in Yorkshire!) That was the day of our Festive Sing and so subsequently, it is only today,(New Years Eve) that I have been able to spare time for a listen, and then only to selected tracks throughout. The package is beautifully presented, the booklet with the song words, and notes on the same, is indeed comprehensive. On the tracks I played there was no sign of Rays Concertina, just pure simple, but extremely artfull and effective singing, with crystal clear diction in the age-old Traditional manner. The great beauty of this is that here is an archive of material ideal for learning from, not only the song but in the manner that they SHOULD be presented. It is all so obviously a Labour of Love, particularly to the oncoming generation, I say, Look, listen, and learn, for this is indeed a gift to you from one Raymond Padgett of Barnsley. Well Done Old Soldier, do try to smile next time you have your photo taken! Cheers Scowie. |

Subject: RE: Ray Padgett new 2 CD album From: r.padgett Date: 31 Dec 10 - 11:58 AM Nah then Scowie looks like several barrels of ale are called for, here Seriously I think the comments I would/should but didn't dare to hope for have been expressed here Traditional songs are our heritage and we old 'uns are used to hearing 'em! I do hope that new artists are able to access such material from source singers, but there are some here too! Back to me pie, Cheers Scowie |

Subject: RE: Ray Padgett new 2 CD album From: GUEST,Jan and Pete Date: 31 Dec 10 - 12:06 PM Album looks really interesting Ray.We'll grab a copy when next we bump into you.
