Subject: scottish songs on cd From: GUEST,The Glasgow Barrowlands Date: 18 Oct 08 - 11:00 AM Hi, i am looking for a scottish cd compilation with the song "The Glasgow Barrowlands" on it sung by either Eddi Reader or another. It is a very funny song and holds special memories for me! Can anyone help me please???? Kindest Regards Oh, it was at the Glasgow Barrowlands, he asked me for a dance. I knew he was a fly man but I had to take a chance. The mirror ball was sparkling. The band played 'The Last Waltz'. And after the dance was over, he asked to take me home. CHORUS: Dup dar di di de rah loolah, etc Oh, it was at the Glasgow Barrowlands, into his arms I fell. He promised me silks and satins, and a diamond ring as well. I got no silks and satins. I got no diamond ring. All I got was a cradle for to rock the baby in! CHORUS Now listen, all you good girls, and take a tip from me: Never let a chancer, an inch above yer knee! |

Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: GUEST,Hootenanny Date: 17 Feb 06 - 05:25 AM Try Topic Record Label in London for the real thing by people such as Billy Bennett (almost a a Gentleman). They do have a website but can't recall it at present. Hoot |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: Tony Burns Date: 16 Feb 06 - 05:00 PM County Vaudeville, an Ontario duo, does almost exclusively music hall songs. They don't seem to have a web site but at this site you will find a bit of a write up and an email address to contact them. They have at least 3 albums. |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: GUEST,Wordless Woman Date: 16 Feb 06 - 04:38 PM Evergreen, part of This England magazine, has quite a few original Music Hall CDs. |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: Dan Schatz Date: 16 Feb 06 - 12:02 PM There was, at one time, an album of Music Hall songs with John Roberts, Tony Barrand and Murray Callahan, among others. I'm not sure it every came out on CD, though. Good luck! Dan Schatz |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: Hollowfox Date: 16 Feb 06 - 11:34 AM I bought some very good cd's of music hall artists last June from our own Mudcat local company, Camsco. You might want to click the link at the top of the page and ask there. |

Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: GUEST,Jim Ward Date: 15 Feb 06 - 07:53 PM Plenty of Music Hall CD's here. Excellent transfers from the original 78's. |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: andrewq Date: 15 Feb 06 - 07:37 PM The Golden Years of Music Hall and Cockney Kings of Music Hall on Saydisc Records ( http;//www.saydisc.com ) are pretty good and feature plenty of the best known performers. |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: Emma B Date: 15 Feb 06 - 07:14 PM just a little later than the above - some good music hall songs on CD from Gracie Fields too but Cosmotheka take some beating. |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: GUEST Date: 15 Feb 06 - 06:58 PM There are cds featuring the original music hall artists like Marie Lloyd, Little Titch, Harry Champion, George Robey etc, Search for them and you'll find some gems. Not in stereo though. |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: Leadfingers Date: 15 Feb 06 - 06:20 PM ANYTHING recorded by Cosmotheka ! The Sealey brothers only sang Music Hall songs and have a good few albums available . |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: KenBrock Date: 15 Feb 06 - 04:42 PM Ian Whitcomb's albums have a fair number of music hall songs. |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: KenBrock Date: 15 Feb 06 - 04:27 PM The Kingston Trio covered "With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm" on their Sold Out lp. It was in the repertoire of Stanley Holloway (Alfred Doolittle in the Lerner and Loewe My Fair Lady) |
Subject: RE: Music Hall songs on CD From: TheBigPinkLad Date: 15 Feb 06 - 04:12 PM Wow, what a great question. Bit like an iceberg I suspect, little question with enormous repercussions! The US equivalent of Music Hall is Vaudeville. Geordie legend Alan Price (The Animals) also wrote many songs in the Music Hall tradition, as did Chas n' Dave ... so many others. There must be tons of CDs but I can't think of a genre compilation. |
Subject: Music Hall songs on CD From: GUEST,penguin egg Date: 15 Feb 06 - 03:57 PM A lot of Ray Davis songs were influenced by Music Hall. Bob Davenport covers Music Hall songs. Does anyone know any CDs that cover this type of music? |
