Fordie has already been released by Fellside, I think on a compilation called "Ballads"....??
We didn't stick it on "Unearthed" because Nic thought it Dull!!
Ho Hum
As for your other query re "Rue the day"......I honestly haven't got a clue...come on Catters one and all...!
Talk soon.

Anorak Redux:

Man of Kiandra is a version of "Rocking the Cradle," a widespread broadside ballad thought to have originated in Ireland. The version that became "Kiandra" was collected in Teralba, NSW from a singer named Sally Sloane. Sloane's version did not mention Kiandra, and indeed no traditional version does. The song was altered by A.L. Lloyd to include the town name because he knew a bloke from Kiandra who had a similar problem. So anyone who sings it with a mention of Kiandra got it, ultimately, from Lloyd...though sometimes through intermediaries. Dave Burland and Trevor Lucas are two notables who have covered Lloyd's version.

So...If Nic's version mentions Kiandra, it's a sure bet Lloyd's influence was involved. Nic could have got it anywhere during the 70s, when Lloyd's songs were thick on the ground. If not, the song's known all over so it's anyone's guess....

In case you can't tell I don't have my copy yet. Pity me! :-(

CAMSCO just received it's first copies. Fine double CD--well programmed, well played, well sung and well produced. CAMSCO's selling it for $24 (US).

Whoop-di-doo! Got my copy this morning; I waited a little while to give Julia a chance to get her breath back after the first rush, but I don't think the rush has stopped- not that she's complaining!

All that I've heard so far is wonderful and I'm looking forward to the rest. Sound quality on the first disc is excellent, much better than I'd expected, and great choice of songs.

Get ordering for Christmas presents! UK orders direct from Nic and Julia (address in Ralphie's post above (click)), US orders from CAMSCO (see Dick Greenhaus's post directly above this one).

Lots of hugs for Ralphie for getting this completed!

Yes, I also got mine some days ago. It's great! And I can confirm that Rue the Day is A.L. Lloyd's version, for whatever that's worth.

Definitely a great album and worth many thanks to all involved, especially Nic, Julia and Ralph.

Oh...and Noreen, Steve...all other UK Catters and you clever buggers across the pond that know about Internet Radio...!!
Tonights Andy Kershaw show on BBC Radio 3 (2215 UK time)
Not only has a Jonesy track on it (Bonny George Campbell)
But also a magnificant session by .....Dick Gaughan.
We recorded it yesterday...and he did "Song for Ireland" amongst others..
I thought that I'd died and gone to heaven .
I hate my job sometimes !!

Sounds wonderful, Ralphie, but I'll be otherwise occupied at that time, singing! Does Radio 3 archive these shows?

And how about starting a fresh thread just to alert people to tonight's prog? I'd do it but I'm pushed for time today.

Hugs,

Noreen

John in Dublin,

I think Fish Records will certainly send to Dublin (they did for me in Belgium and very quick too). The link is posted above somewhere, I think.
