A song that I heard at the weekend. It's by a band called Skandal, and it's called Footloose. I've also got Robbie's Eternity, and allSTARS Best Friends.

John McKusker's "Dalnabreac", as recorded on the Battlefield Band's Quiet Days CD. Listened to it last night. The melody always lingers with me long after I hear it. Absolutely beautiful! John's one helluva fiddler. PDB.

A lovely reel from Lunasa's new album, 'The Three Merry Sisters of Fate'. Sorry can't remember the name of the tune but if you've got the CD its the first tune in a set and is just played on the fiddle.

PS also 'Eternal Flame' after having read the Atomic Kitten thread. Groan.

A hungover and a generally liverish feeling (why o why do I drink rum?) from a cracking evening at Sharp's yesterday.
Compounded by Doris bloody Day singing Que sera.
All together now...
Will I be bilious,
Will I be sick...?

It's one of those songs that turns itself into an earworm when I'm feeling below par, and it's insufferable saccharine jollity is driving me MAD at the moment!

"Sweetest Nights and Days of Ease", a love song by J. Seanna Rowe (that's me).

"Every day you're away from me
I say a little prayer
To keep you safe and loved and free

And if when you are far away
and wishing I were there
I'll send you coloured memories

of sweetest night and days of ease
Of dancing in the summer breeze"

I've been practising it in my head for a few days now in preparation for recording it to put up on my mp3.com website. (and I do hope it doesn't take as long as that last four I put up there over TWO weeks ago!! [/rant])

'Lament for the Hull Trawlers' - I've just been checking the words of my Frankie Armstrong LP and can't get the haunting tune out of my head.
Alice, the song you're looking for (post 506654 above) could be All the tunes in the world by Mudcatter Ewan McVicar. There is a short older thread on it but the link there is obsolete. Can anything be done about this? (Sorry - sneaking off to the technical forum ...)

I spent the weekend singing Sacred Harp. Lots of the tunes whirl around my head afterwards, but today it's been a tune called Cleburne by S.M Denson. The words are "All hail the power of Jesus' name."

All my head has in it at the moment is sawdust stuffing.
I've just had a wonderful folk camping weekend in Sussex. Great beer, fantastic singing and very late nights/early mornings. Worth every minute but awful on a Monday morning, especially when you've got a driving test later in the day.
A gallon or so of tea should sort me out by then - I hope!!!!!!

Da Slockit Lite, after hearing the sables/pirt/stephenson Cd. It sounded familiar and I managed to get a version of the tune from JCs and I am practicing it (the G sharp still catches me out)
Last wednesday I went along to the Red House pub, the first time in several months, and listened to the tunes being played. That is why the tune is so familiar, they play it there among all the other tunes I haven't yet learned.

I once heard that if you have a tune stuck in your head and it's driving you crazy, you can get rid it by thinking of the theme from The Odd Couple. I don't know if it's power of suggestion or what but it works for me. To answer the question: "Manchester Rambler" by Ewan MacColl. (I don't know how to get rid of the theme frome The Odd Couple.)
