Subject: RE: Great Ballad Recordings
Big Tim - no offence taken! Anyone who's met Gordeanna McCulloch is in my good books! BTW, do you have any old Clutha recordings? I've been looking for their recording to The Balaena for years, only heard them do it live at Tonder Festival once and liked it a lot better than Bert Lloyd's version. All I know is, it isn't on 'The Bonnie Mill Dams' and probably not on 'Scotia!'

Sharyn, if you're after great singing you should have heard 'Palaver' - Gordeanna McCulloch, Maureen Jelks, Chris Miles and Aileen Carr (another fine singer who's just brought out her first solo CD, I believe). A cappella four-part harmony to die for! However, they broke up before making a CD; there are just a couple of tracks on the CD 'Ceilidh House Sessions' (and I have a bootleg of a concert they took part in).
