Fred McCormick Song from Pasolini's Pardoner's Tale (24) RE: Song from Pasolini's Pardoner's Tale 17 Jun 11


Steve. It's donkey's years since I saw the film but, as far as I can remember, all the songs were taken from the Topic/Caedmon LP series of field recordings of traditional singers from Britain and Ireland.

If so, Torn a' ma' goon would have been sung by Jimmmy McBeath, and the Little Fishes would have been by the Coppers (Bob and Ron), but they called it The Merry Haymakers.

Of the two others, Paddy West was sung by Timothy Walsh of Devonport, and The Dreadnaught (listed on the LP as The Liverpool Packet) was sung Bill Barber of Cadgwith Cove in Cornwall.

If the square box in the corner of my living room ever gets to showing the film again, I'll list all the songs and post same on Mudcat.
