Tattie Bogle Lyr Req: Just as the Tide Was Flowing (62* d) RE: Lyr Req: Just as the Tide Was Flowing 27 Feb 21


Thanks for introducing me to further versions: enjoyed both of those, though - dare I say it, the Tony Rose one was a bit too “metronomic” for me. Liked yours a lot, Dick.
While on YouTube I surfed through a sea of other versions; I only found one slower than Eliza’s, but there were several choirs galloping through the song in just 2 minutes!
Those I liked also:
Dolly Collins’ earlier recordings (not the Albion Band one - also too much “beat”)
Jon Boden - nice restrained accompaniment
Peggy Seeger (with Tom Paley)

I also found the 10,000 Maniacs - heavy folk-rock
Peter Bellamy - the only a capella version apart from the choirs
James Yorkston - a bit sort of whispery

Perhaps the most unusual version was from Sidmouth Folk Festival 2012, with Jackie Oates playing pizzicato fiddle and singing the song for 2 dancers to compete in the double jig competition ( and they won!)

Now back to the rugby! Ireland leading Italy.
