Subject: Moving through the Fair From: GUEST,inishowen@aol.com Date: 29 Aug 01 - 05:40 AM I am seeking to trace every recording of "She Moved through the Fair" and would greatly welcome help from Mudcatters. Cheers. PS. As you can see I don't mind split infinitives. |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: IanC Date: 29 Aug 01 - 05:46 AM If you're looking for every recording, you'll have to use something like a Google search on the net. Good luck, you'll probably come up with quite a lot. In the meantime, this thread may be of some help.
Cheers! |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: nutty Date: 29 Aug 01 - 05:48 AM You may have your work cut out .... a search of GOOGLE lists almost 400 recordings GOOD LUCK |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: Murray MacLeod Date: 29 Aug 01 - 07:05 AM Guest Inishowen, I am trying to figure out the relevance of your partiality to split infinitives, but am having no success. You didn't use any split infinitives in your post .............. Murray |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: John P Date: 29 Aug 01 - 08:29 AM Alan Stivell -- Chemins de terre With a great French accent. William Pint and Felicia Dale -- Hartwell Horn An instrumental version, with hurdy-gurdy. Telynor (my band) -- Celtic and Traditional Music Now out of print. We gender-switched the words for a female vocalist. JP |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: GUEST,donone.com Date: 29 Aug 01 - 06:58 PM i heard a fantastic version of this song by a band called something like Mounting Rhodes. I thing the singer was called Sheelzy. |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: AliUK Date: 29 Aug 01 - 07:02 PM split infinitives are now part of english grammar, take it from me I teach english for a living. |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: Madhatter Date: 30 Aug 01 - 08:07 AM I understand there is a radio station in the states that only plays variations of "she moved through the fair" first time I heard it was on an "All About Eve" Album and Boyzone have a version on one of their CD'S Madhatter |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: Ringer Date: 30 Aug 01 - 09:46 AM Yeah, AliUK: I'll take it from you that you teach English for a living. |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: GUEST,Calach Date: 30 Aug 01 - 10:09 AM Feargal Sharkey (ex punk band Stiff Little Fingers, who sang "My Perfect Cousin") sang a very definitive version on an album called "Celtic Moods" a couple of years ago. The most haunting I've ever heard. |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: GUEST,Curious Date: 30 Aug 01 - 03:36 PM Calach, You're in grave danger of incurring AliUK's wrath as English teacher (teacher of English?). What is a "very definitive version" as opposed to a "definitive version"? Curious |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: AliUK Date: 31 Aug 01 - 12:56 AM Fergal Sharkey was with the Undertones who were good, then he went solo, was crap and thankfully disappeared. |
Subject: RE: Moving through the Fair From: GUEST,AKRick Date: 31 Aug 01 - 09:26 PM Before Napster croaked, I got a couple dozen versions of this tune (in order to work out an arrangement of my own). My favorites are Sinead O'Connors w/ the Chieftains, and a beautiful accapella version from the Anne Briggs collection. By the way, I highly recommend the Briggs collection ... 22 tunes, only 4 with accompaniment. |
