22 May 06 - 02:55 PM (#1745562) Subject: RE: Is Lizzie Higgins still alive? From: GUEST,Auldtimer Lizzie Higgins was unquestionably the best singer I have heard. Her style was totaly captivating, hypnotic even. The audence melted away, there was just you and her and she sang straight to you. There are a couple of LPs and a fiew CD tracks arround BUT none completely capture the her performance. BUT, Doc Roe, folklorest and collector, recorded Lizzie on video when in hospital and this is a powerfull bit of tape that shows, dare I say it, some of her special magic. |

22 May 06 - 03:58 PM (#1745597) Subject: RE: Is Lizzie Higgins still alive? From: GUEST,Auldtimer Doc Roe,the english collector and folklorest, appeared at a fiew festivals talking about Traditional music and song and the performers. It's about four years or so since I last attended one of his workshops but he is still going arround. He has been involved in releasing some of his sound recordings on CD but trying to catch him at a festival would be your best bet. The School Of Scottish Studies in Edinburugh would also be a source of sound recorded material, for study not for sale, and more info on Lizzie Higgins. |
