Thread Name: Two great songs for Halloween
Subject: RE: Two great songs for Halloween
The second song comes from a poem by Violet Jacob ( no s), simply entitled “Hallowe’en “, set to music by Jim Reid. She is mourning the loss of her son, Lachlan, in WW1. It was sung yesterday at a Hallowe’en party I was at.
Many fine recordings of it, including Jim Reid’s own, Sheena Wellington, Lucy Pringle and a group called Tryst.
