Subject: Tanyard/Slaney Side modern recording From: Steve Gardham Date: 25 May 21 - 08:55 AM Hi all, Anyone know of a recent album recording of Slaney Side or Down by the Tanyard Side? I just need the details from the album. I don't need a copy. I have plenty of references to traditional singers so I'm just looking for revival singers. Thanks. |
Subject: RE: Tanyard/Slaney Side modern recording From: GUEST,Clive Pownceby Date: 25 May 21 - 09:15 AM Jim Causley did Tanyard Side on his 'Fruits Of The Earth' album though that was in 2005! Is that recent Steve? I'm of an age when I can regard stuff that I think recent, only to find it was in the last century! |

Subject: RE: Tanyard/Slaney Side modern recording From: Felipa Date: 26 May 21 - 04:50 PM Seán Ó Sé Down By the Tanyard Side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfFkYf_X-wY lyrics posted below recording: Down by the Tanyard Side I am a rambling hero And by love I am betrayed, Near to the town of Baltinglass, There dwells a lovely maid, She's fairer than Hypatia bright, And she's free from earthly pride. She's a darlin' maid, her dwelling place Is down by the Tanyard side. Her lovely hair in ringlets rare Lies on her snow-white neck, And the tender glances of her eyes Would save a ship from wreck. Her two red lips so smiling And her teeth so pearly white Would make a man become her slave Down by the Tanyard side. I courteously saluted her And I viewed her o'er and o'er, And I said, "Are you Aurora bright Descending here below?" "Oh, no, kind sir, I'm a maiden poor," She modestly replied, "And I daily labour for my bread Down by the Tanyard side.' So for twelve long years I courted Her till at length we did agree For to acquaint her parents And married we would be. But 'twas then her cruel father To me proved most unkind Which makes me sail across the sea And leave my love behind. Farewell, my aged parents, To you I bid adieu. I'm crossing the main ocean All for the sake of you. But whenever I return I will make her my bride And I'll roll her in my arms again Down by the Tanyard side. ------------- Mick Maloney and others, "The Green Fields of America" group - on Topic records https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N-KVZFw0I8 Jim McCann (ah, that's why I thought it had been recorded by the Dubliners), Down by the Slaney Side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LBisuo73lU also Topic Records Lyrics very similar to those given above artists mentioned by Reinhard can also be heard on youtube |
Subject: RE: Tanyard/Slaney Side modern recording From: Steve Gardham Date: 27 May 21 - 05:22 PM Hi all Thanks for these suggestions. Reinhard, your website is my first port of call and as I said I have sufficient trad singer references. I am trying to include as up-to-date recordings as possible but where these don't exist I will go back to about 2000. Clive, snap! |
