Subject: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Banjiman Date: 28 Jun 11 - 04:54 AM Seven and a half minutes of unaccompanied loveliness from my Missus. I am completely biased (and a bit sad) but I just love this. Annachie Gordon (Child 239) - live at Beverley Folk Festival last weekend. Wendy Arrowsmith - Annachie Gordon Just thought I'd share! |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: doc.tom Date: 28 Jun 11 - 05:04 AM Nice one! See you next week after next. Tom |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Wee Jock Date: 28 Jun 11 - 06:38 AM What an excellent performance of an amazing ballad,performances like that always remind me why i love folk music. Regards John Matthews |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Willa Date: 28 Jun 11 - 03:12 PM A lovely performance! Sang this version myself in Beverley yesterday. It's one of my favourites. |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: Jack Campin Date: 28 Jun 11 - 07:28 PM That's just heartstoppingly wonderful. |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: Maryrrf Date: 28 Jun 11 - 09:48 PM An exquisite performance of one of my favorite ballads. Well done, Wendy! |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: ChanteyLass Date: 28 Jun 11 - 11:32 PM Absolutely wonderful! I am so glad you put this on YouTube and posted a clicky here. I have been craving traditional music. I had the CD that Wendy referred to, but it disappeared during a 3-month hospitalization in 2003. All I came home with was the empty case. I have other recordings of the song, but I don't think any of them are a cappella. I see that you have put other videos of Wendy on YouTube and will be listening to them as soon as possible. |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Banjiman Date: 29 Jun 11 - 12:07 PM "and you who are her maidens, come loosen up her gown" I still think that is the most disturbing line I've ever heard in a traditional (or possibly any) song. ...... given the context of a father preparing his daughter for rape. Gives me the shivers! |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: YorkshireYankee Date: 30 Jun 11 - 02:54 AM Gorgeous! On all counts... |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Banjiman Date: 30 Jun 11 - 11:52 AM Calm down Mr Yankee......... She's on at The Black Swan in York on July 14th, if your part of Yorkshire is anywhere near there. |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST Date: 30 Jun 11 - 01:29 PM Yorkshire Yankee is female, Paul. |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Banjiman Date: 30 Jun 11 - 02:36 PM OOOH! |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: YorkshireYankee Date: 01 Jul 11 - 02:22 AM I am indeed female (and married, too, BTW). I'm (usually) in Sheffield -- so not too far from York -- but am in the US visiting family at the moment, so the swim is more than I'm up for right now; maybe another time... A lot of folks seem to think Yorkshire Yankee sounds like a guy's nick. I picked it because I'm a Yank living in Yorkshire, so it seemed a logical choice (& had a bit of a ring to it, which I liked). (Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I thought it might be a good idea to explain things more fully...) Cheers! P.S. "Guest", who are you? (Just curious...) |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Banjiman Date: 01 Jul 11 - 03:26 AM Well MRS Yankee, please accept my full and sincere apologies for changing your gender. I'm really quite embarrassed now. Hopefully we might catch you somewhere down the road! Paul |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: Will Fly Date: 01 Jul 11 - 03:42 AM Well, I have to say that I'm not generally a great lover of Child Ballads - I prefer 2 minute long bits of fluff from the 1920s (just my attention span) - but this performance was beautiful - superb. Well done, Mrs. Wendy Arrowsmith Banjiman!! |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Banjiman Date: 03 Jul 11 - 05:54 AM Thanks will. That's a real compliment from you. Funny actually, the thing we're just putting finishing touches to now is "Wildwood Flower", definitely a bit of fluff, definitely 1920's (well The Carter Family version) ..... and difficult to stretch to 2 minutes! |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: Bonzo3legs Date: 03 Jul 11 - 10:52 AM What a wonderful performance - no relation to Pat Arrowsmith? |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Banjiman Date: 04 Jul 11 - 03:49 AM Not that I'm aware of Bonzo...... would be cool though! |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Dave (Bridge) Date: 04 Jul 11 - 04:18 AM Wendy is also on at the Bridge in Newcastle on Monday 11th July along with John and Caroline Bushby. A night not to be missed if you are anywhere near |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: GUEST,Banjiman Date: 04 Jul 11 - 11:03 AM Here you go Dave, Harp, pipes, whistle & guitar - Arrowsmith:Bushby - Lass O'Gowrie |
Subject: RE: Annachie Gordon Video From: Banjiman Date: 10 Nov 11 - 05:47 AM Wendy's on at Seaford Folk Club tomorrow night (Friday 11/11/11) if anyone's passing. |
