Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 07 Feb 24 - 02:13 PM 6 February 1958: Seven Manchester United footballers (the Busby Babes) were killed when their plane crashed in thick snow at Munich airport. An eighth, Duncan Edwards, died 15 days later in hospital. Fifteen other passengers also died. THE FLOWERS OF MANCHESTER was sent into a folk magazine, Sing, anonymously in October 1958. The words were printed, but no music accompanied it, apart from a note saying it was to the tune of High Germany. It later transpired that the lyrics were actually written by Eric Winter, the editor of Sing. The first known musical recording was by The Spinners, a North-West based folk group, on their album ‘Quayside Songs Old and New’ on an old HMV-CLP1500 educational label issued in 1962. It was recorded at Cecil Sharp house by Peter Kennedy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SMLcO9xnSU Flowers of Manchester The song MUNICH AIR DISASTER 1958 by Morrissey holds a deep meaning and tells a tragic story that impacted the world of football. Released in 2004 as a tribute to the victims of the Munich air crash, the song captures the emotional turbulence of the event that occurred on February 6, 1958.

Subject: RE: Any February Songs? From: GerryM Date: 07 Feb 24 - 03:54 PM David Lawrieston (or Lowrieston) was the head of a team of ten sealers set down on Open Bay, an island off the coast of New Zealand, by Captain Bader. Bader set sail for Sydney on 16 February 1810, intending to return to Open Bay to pick up the sealers, but his ship went down with all hands. The sealers were only rescued and returned to Sydney in the last days of 1813. The song, DAVY LOWSTON , recounts these events. It follows the tune of Sam Hall / Captain Kidd. It has been recorded by Martin Carthy, June Tabor, the Australian group The Roaring Forties, and others. The folk process has created many variants of the song. Some get the dates wrong, the Captain's name wrong, and all have turned Lowrieston into Lowston. Most say, or imply, that many of the men died on Open Bay, but there is no evidence of this. I'd encourage anyone interested in the events and/or the song to read Frank Fyfe, The story of David Lowston, a pre-colonial NZ song, available at https://www.folksong.org.nz/davylows/lowstonfyfe.html Davy Lowston recording by Martin Carthy and recordings by various others on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=davy+lowston+song |
