Thread Name: A folk song a year
Subject: RE: A folk song a year
I usually have a Big One cooking up that could take several years before its ready for public performance, let alone recording. I've had Paddy Tunney's An Bunnan Bui simmering away for 20 years or more, but I've tried it in sessions maybe twice and it's still not quite ready, even though I'll sing it myself when I'm out walking in lonely places. I made a recording a few years back using the zither (citera) but it feels better with the fiddle. Also part of my own Fiddlesangs project I'm slowly re-learning The Keilder Hunt, but I reckon it won't be ready until the back end of August at the earliest. I say re-learning, but it never became part of my when I was living in Tyneside as it's doing now I'm living in Exile (as we ex-pat Geordies affectionately refer to Lancashire).
