LOL lizzie, that was a cool video i am about to put it on FB i didn't know that equation had split though, i have to confess i prefer kathryn and sean on their own, talk about mind blowing!!

there is nothing sexier than watching someone play an instrument and getting really into it, it's like you see their soul shining through.

Is folk music sexy? No!

But the people surely are.

There was one special festival, and a special person...

Oh heck, yes! I've seen Kathryn sing that song too, jade...I know exactly what you mean. She sings it superbly and her dancing is just sooooooooooo...

Can't find her singing that, which is probably just as well as it would only cause a few of the fellas to end up in Accident and Emergency....but I found her singing this, accompanied by Sean Lakeman, of course.

'Whitby Maid'

I've always said that Kathryn is one of the most underrated voices and talents in English folk.

Hey, now here's a pretty darn sexy video...

Cara, Kathryn, Sean, Seth, Sam - Equation - He Loves Me

Oh, that they'd get back together again. They'd be a real folk supergroup these days and would sell out all over.

to paraphrase Rod Stewart

"Do you think I'm sexy and you like my banjo
Come on sugar, let me know"

English folk song rarely seems to rollick in the sex, so to speak. Rather it mostly sniggers at it (as in "the Threshing Machine").

Thompson's "Lass at the hiring fair" is I think quite erotic.

But the medal I think needs to go to a tune title "The lass is pissing brandy".

Oh, the Getaway reminds me at least once a year what is sexy about folk music... and the folks who make that music!

Shall I start posting pictures?!

.......then again there has been more than a fiew head turning, eye poping bits of stuff/crumpet/eye candy/totty to have graced the stage over the years. BUT I would be too much of a gent. to be so sexist and mention any names.

"Arran jumpers, beards, campsite toilets, midges, 113 verse songs, freezing upstairs pub rooms, beer bellies, star of the county down/wild rover/anachie gordon at break neck speed, singing from song books, singers that can't, guitar players that don't know when to stop playing/twideling/plonking, talking over performemers, full pa in a wc sized room........... "


Ah yes...BUT..ALL that pales into insignificance, because the folk world has...The Oysterband!

Now, I'm swooning! :0)

we do seem to like either singing about sex or murder, if we can combine the two so much the better.
i think we should follow their example on the sex front, but back in the olden days you didn't have to worry about being interupted by dog walkers and ramblers!!!
or school trips! wow that would be embarasing.

quite a few non folkie friends get ratherembarrased when you talk about sex or listen to songs about it, even    rory mcloeds when mummy and daddy made me, made our parents squirm even though it is beautiful and very loving.

what is there to be embarrased about? except if you are silly enough to be noisy at festivals!!!!

take care all
if in doubt out a sock in it!! LOL

So, I'm dancin' to this at the moment..

Hot, baby, HOT!

...and I'm thinking of all the times I've been told off for daring to bring sex into discussion of folk music and musicians.   

WHY is it that this music, folk that is, some of which is insanely sexy has to be spoken of in hushed tones, with English folks preferring to prostate themselves in front of the Folk Altar, rather than lie down on it...and.....

I'm just wonderin'...and feeling a little mischievious, you know, how you do sometimes...

Anyway, I think that some of it IS sexy, and it should be celebrated for that fact...and if some folks swoon now and then over er..some folks, well it only adds to the sheer joy and the heat.

Don't get too steamed up dancing to Ricky though, because that lassie in his song may make more than a few Boysies keel over with a smile on their face.
