GUEST,Alan Ross Lyr Req: Waters of Kylesku (26) RE: Lyr Req: Waters of Kylescue / ... Kylesku 06 Aug 07


The big regional hit of this song was recorded for Grampian Records of Wick, by singer Argo Cameron I think about 1964. Argo was known as the singing baker - and still does work for charity. Other Scottish versions followed his, by Calum Kennedy and the Alexander Brothers etc. It was supposed to have been composed, or lyrics were by a local water baliff called Henderson if memory is correct.

Must check the MCPS database.   The verses seem to go on and on - as there is little tune variation throughout the work.

Argo made a number of singles and LP's for defunct Grampian Records, and also recorded the Stewart Ross version (very primitive recording) of Dark Island in 1965.
