the button Best performance of a ballad (58* d) RE: Best performance of a ballad 03 Sep 08


Thanks for the contributions all. I agree about Peter Bellamy's "The trees...." being the definitive revival performance of that ballad. Which is a bit of a sod if you decide you want to perform it yourself with concertina accompaniment -- very hard to stop it being a cover version.

Would this be a good moment to admit that (as far as I can recall) I haven't heard a single thing by Ewan McColl? Possibly something of an oversight, eh?
