Mo Desert Island Discs - trad version (39) RE: Desert Island Discs - trad version 13 Nov 98


Well Sue (It's Sue Lawley now) For an entirely folkie selection I'd have to start with 1)She Moved Through the Fair, as sung by my parents on the long journey's north from Devon, my first introduction to folk music.

It would also have to include Stan Rogers and ... ooh, probably 2)Barratt's Privateers, trying to remember the verses in the right order would keep me amused for hours on the island.

3)Safe in the Harbour - Eric Bogle.

4)Kismuil's Galley - The Corries, you can feel the bodhran beats vibrating your bones!

5)She's Like a Swallow - as done by Coope Boyes and Simpson, and also

6)10 Thousand Miles from the same album (Hindsight, it's brill!)

7) Breislach by Capercaillie

8)The Holy Ground (Trad) by Mary Black

9)The Appropriate Dipstick by Wolfstone

Finally 10) Highland Cathedral - whooo!!

Book - the biggest collection of folk tunes from around the world that's available, with the music - all in the key of C or D.

Luxury - a tin whistle that will never go out of tune!!

Don't get me started on the classical music.... Best,

Mo
