18 Jun 11 - 02:11 AM (#3172193) Subject: Cyril Tawney - New CD From: Arthur_itus Just received an email from Rosemary Tawney and thought it was worth posting on here for people who haven't seen it. I have good news for those who have been hoping for Cyril's Argo LPs to become available on CD. Talking Elephant have just issued one of them. It's available from all the usual online sources, specialist folk music suppliers and at many festivals, as well as direct from Talking Elephant http://www.talkingelephant.co.uk/ and from me via Cyril's website. Click http://www.cyriltawney.co.uk/record.htm HERE for full track listing. Happy listening and best wishes to you all Rosemary Tawney http://www.cyriltawney.co.uk/ CYRIL TAWNEY "A Mayflower Garland" available again after 30 years "A collection of folk songs from Devon and Cornwall offered as a tribute on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower". Cyril Tawney's 1970 album A Mayflower Garland is now on sale as a CD (Talking Elephant TSCD 176), having been unavailable for copyright reasons for over 30 years, as have many other gems from the Argo folk catalogue. The LP was produced to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the sailing of the Pilgrim Fathers from Plymouth to America and consists of a selection of 12 Devon and Cornwall songs including three of Cyril's own (most notably a superb version of The Oggie Man), three-quarters of which have never before been issued on a Tawney CD. Other standout tracks are his definitive rendering of The Bell-ringing, Outward Bound, Sir Francis Drake and Rounding the Horn. There are five short extracts from contemporary historical documents read by Gary Watson, and Cyril is accompanied by Reg Hall (melodeon) and Tom Paley (banjo and plectrum guitar). |

18 Jun 11 - 01:23 PM (#3172405) Subject: RE: Cyril Tawney - New CD From: Kit Griffiths Now if only they'd release "In Port". I've been trying to get hold of that for years. Although the individual songs are all available on other albums (as Rosemary Tawney points out on the website), it is these particular versions that are important to me (for sentimental reasons as much as anything). I even bought a copy of the vinyl L.P. through eBay, but as I no longer have a turntable..... |

18 Jun 11 - 04:11 PM (#3172502) Subject: Cyril Tawney recordings From: Gurney There are CDs available from of live recordings of gigs and a CD of one of his LPs, and a book about him too. Some of the 'new' CDs are rearranged, more into type of subject, but look on the C.T. website to see what I mean. Cyril was a collector, transmitter, and writer, and I wonder if any 'traditional' type of singer of today doesn't include at least one of C.T's. songs in his repertoire. This is nothing to do with me, unless some fragments that I once recorded have been spiced in. I just happen to be on Rosemary Tawney's mailing list. Do go to the website for a look.

Emily Friedman, of Chicago, gave it to me as a gift---and it is wonderful. Don Stevens---How the hell are you?? I know it's been a tough go. Give me a note at folkart@ivnet.com I hope you and Barbara are as good as we can be at our age. All the best, Art |

Does anyone know if Rosemary Tawney is still with us? This message implies that she had email as of 2011. Does she still get email? I would like to contact her to pay her royalties and for permission to record one of Cyril's songs. |
