Subject: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Thompson Date: 29 Mar 08 - 04:19 PM Tommy Sands, Dolores Keane and Vedran Smailovic do a brilliant version of Where Have All the Flowers Gone on the Pete Seeger tribute album - but what's the pipe lament at the end, and who's playing? |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Thompson Date: 29 Mar 08 - 04:57 PM by the way, it's about two-thirds of the way through the programme here |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Susanne (skw) Date: 30 Mar 08 - 07:02 PM The booklet of that double CD does not say anything about the tune at the end. You might eMail Tommy Sands about it, or if I remember I'll ask him on April 19, when the Sands Family are playing here in Kiel. |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Effsee Date: 30 Mar 08 - 10:09 PM I'll wager it's Liam O'Flynn! |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Thompson Date: 31 Mar 08 - 05:58 AM I thought it was a new album and went hunting for it in Dublin, but then realised it's two years old, so I've ordered it from Amazon. I'm not on email terms with T Sands; if you do see him, Suzanne, I'd be grateful if you'd ask. Pass him the grateful thanks of a webby friend for this wonderful track, please, too. |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Jim McLean Date: 31 Mar 08 - 11:13 AM Iv'e got a feeling the piper wrote this for that track. It reminded me of the Roisin Dhu track by Sean O'Riada for MISE EIRE, very evocative and poignant. |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Thompson Date: 31 Mar 08 - 08:05 PM No, I think I've heard the lament before, just can't place it. |
|
Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Thompson Date: 31 Mar 08 - 08:15 PM Indeed, I think that was played at my father's funeral. What can it be? |
|
Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Susanne (skw) Date: 01 Apr 08 - 06:06 PM Thompson, you can contact him via his website. It's perfectly ok to do that. |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Thompson Date: 05 Apr 08 - 01:24 PM Got the CD and it lists Liam Óg Ó Floinn as the piper. Listening more attentively, it seems to be the pipes in the centre of the song, then the feadóg mhór at the end. I'm wondering if the lament might be Flowers of the Forest... |
|
Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Leadfingers Date: 05 Apr 08 - 02:17 PM As an Ex Scottish piper , it definately is NOT Flowers of the Forest which is probably a bit TOO Scottish for that group ! Lovely tune though ! |
|
Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Effsee Date: 05 Apr 08 - 03:27 PM Woz I right, or woz I right!!! Now now Terry, you know fine you canna be a Scottish anything!! But I will allow you to be an English Great Highland Bagpipe Player. |
|
Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Effsee Date: 05 Apr 08 - 09:18 PM OK. I'm working in the deepest furrows of my memory banks here! The tune was used on an album in the '70s by the Dubliners whilst Ronnie Drew recited a poem "Se fah Mho Mheurna"(I'm not sure of the spelling). BUT....in my head I can hear it being sung....and it sounds suspiciously like Sean Cannon!(Pre Dubs era!) |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Thompson Date: 06 Apr 08 - 08:57 AM Well, it was a wild stab... |
|
Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Effsee Date: 06 Apr 08 - 04:32 PM A bit of research has found "Sé Fáth Mo Bhuartha" as the title. Previous threads on can be foound with the search facility. |

Subject: RE: Where Have All the Flowers Gone tribute From: Thompson Date: 06 Apr 08 - 04:58 PM Sé Fáth mo Bhuartha? ("It(/he) is the reason for my sorrow"), eh? Thanks, will try to track down the whole tune. |
