16 Oct 08 - 01:06 PM (#2467424) Subject: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: Folkiedave Those lovely people at Fellside have published a wonderful new record of A.L. Lloyd called "Ten Thousand Miles" subtitled "English and Australian Folk Songs, Recordings from the early days of the folk revival". It is a two disc set with English Songs on one disc and Australian songs on the second disc. To be sold at the price of one CD so really good value. Some rare tracks and some great singing by Bert. All sorts of accompanying musicians: Alf Edwards on all the English songs; Peggy Seeger; Ralph Rinzler and others on the Australian songs. Excellent value for money. |

16 Oct 08 - 01:59 PM (#2467508) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: Leadfingers No mention of it on the Fellside Website as yet !! When is Release Date Dave ? |
16 Oct 08 - 02:11 PM (#2467522) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: Folkiedave No idea - I suspect the launch will be at the Lloyd concert on 15th at C# House. I probably got mine early for the radio show I do - I will play a track tomorrow. They are very friendly at Fellside - I am sure they would reply to any emails. |
16 Oct 08 - 02:56 PM (#2467562) Subject: RE: New A.L.Lloyd Record From: GUEST,Reinhard Zierke I don't have this compilation yet either, but I collected the available information at my website at Ten Thousand Miles Away. In short, the tracks seem to be from two 78" HMV records, the Riverside LP "English Street Songs", the Topic LP "The Singing Sailor" and the Wattle records "Convicts and Currency Lads", "The Banks of the Condamine and Other Bush Songs" and "Across the Western Plains".

16 Oct 08 - 04:14 PM (#2467626) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: Dave Sutherland It is quite possible that some of the Australian songs could be from an early Topic LP called "Outback Ballads" as he used the above musicians on that recording. Anyway it sounds a must have album. |

16 Oct 08 - 07:58 PM (#2467836) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: dick greenhaus If anyone wanst one, please let me know. I have to order from England, which takes an unconscionable amount of time. I should also point out that Folktrax has a CD of Lloyd's called Thr Bramble Briar. Grand stuff. |

17 Oct 08 - 09:24 AM (#2468209) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: GUEST Derek, Any sign of Dave Arthur's biography? |
17 Oct 08 - 01:32 PM (#2468406) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: Folkiedave Yes it is being published by the EFDSS (Dave's problem was always getting a publsher) and the launch is November 15th at the event referred to above. And I played a track today on my radio show (possibly a first!!) News of that later...... Blatant plug..... |

18 Oct 08 - 07:36 AM (#2469031) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: GUEST,Derek Schofield Certainly, the intention was to launch the book at the Bert day on 15 November. But the EFDSS website makes it clear that the book won't be out by that date. Instead, Dave will be giving a talk about Bert, and Fellside will be launching the aforementioned double CD. I expect there may be a pre-publication offer on the book at the event. The guest list and programme are on the EFDSS website. www.efdss.org Derek Schofield |
18 Oct 08 - 08:42 AM (#2469065) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: Folkiedave Sorry Derek, The leaflet I was using as my source says it would be launched at the event. Thanks for pointing that out. That is a brilliant guest list. As good as you would get for three folk festivals and all for £20.00 If only I was able to go.....sigh..... |
18 Oct 08 - 05:42 PM (#2469398) Subject: RE: New A..L.Lloyd Record From: Art Thieme Are the Australian songs the LP album he did for Riverside Records in the 1960s?? I think it was called Australian Bush Ballads here in the U.S. Art |
01 Nov 08 - 07:01 PM (#2481979) Subject: A L Lloyd centenay CD From: mark gregory Fellside: A L Lloyd Double CD A L 'Bert' Lloyd was one of the architects of the English Folk Revival. He was a singer, writer and mentor to many of the leading folk artists of today. His interest in folk music started when he was working in Australia in the 1920s. These recordings made in the 1950s are some of the earliest he made of English and Australian songs. Fellside is releasing this double CD as part of the Bert Lloyd centenary celebrations |
