Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen Eleanor's Confession (Child #156) From: GUEST Date: 30 Nov 20 - 05:03 AM Raymond Cooke (Australia, I think), has released a video on YT which appears to be a variant of the one Maddy Prior sings -- is this the Motherwell tune? I don't have many resources available to me over here. Someone wrote to Raymond that he had grown up with an Ozark version... Sounds intriguing. Does anyone here know it? Jill Rogoff |

Subject: RE: Origins: Queen Eleanor's Confession (Child #156) From: GUEST,jugmws 28 March 2022 Date: 28 Apr 22 - 06:12 PM I know this is a very old link, but I saw this performed 'live' back in the 70's a few times & I have to agree with the earlier contributor. Rosie Hardman delivered this song absolutely superbly. The only tragedy; for that is what it surely is, she never recorded it for more people to share. It was simply visually marvellous; her facial expression at the times I saw her perform this song were something that really ought to have been recorded for posterity. I know she is physically struggling nowadays, but I see her frequently 'in my minds memory' grabbing the audience with her captivating performance of this song at The Rockingham Arms in Wentworth. An experience I & Dave Neale (a friend of mine will never forget). One of my favourite memories. m |
