Hi ev'rybody,
who can help with the lyrics of the McCalmans song "Farewell the Faroes"?It goes like this: Fare thee well the Firth of Forth and all the clubs and lassies too......Good luck! Clint

Nothing I can find so far. I found on Suzanne's web-page that it is trad, and she has a link to the McCalmans web-page. It's not on their lyrics pages, so you might have to ask them.

This song was requested here, but with no luck. It's on the list of "Unanswered Requests."

It sounds rather like one of the songs from the Northern Trawl IIRC.
That goes through the ports and fishing grounds recalled by ex trawlermen. I don't have my resources handy, but I bet Maggie or Linda Kelly would know...

Sorry, but so far I haven't managed to work that one out. Maybe now that I've put my LPs on minidisc I can start working on the harder cases like this one. (Or if I'm lucky Ian McCalman will be at Tonder Festival and I'll be able to bludgeon him into sitting down and writing it out for me!)
