10 Sep 11 - 04:41 PM (#3221278) Subject: June Tabor song ideas ? From: GUEST,Azoic IF YOU had a say in what songs June Tabor would include in her musical repertoire,what songs would you choose?As far as my own opinion,I feel that song selection is her strongest suite,and that she has impeccable taste.I would, however, love to hear her sing 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" by Jimmy Webb, "Autumn Leaves"or "Brother Can you Spare A Dime".Any ideas? |

Where is it from? ;) "The Grey Tunnel Line" was sung by Cyril Tawney on "Tubular Dogs". Incidentally, June Tabor sang "Get a Long Little Dogie" on the same album and she helped Bill Caddick on a midnight snack of "Custard Creams". |

13 Sep 11 - 11:32 AM (#3222565) Subject: RE: What song from June Tabor? From: ClaireBear Suegorgeous, the version I sang at last year's Getaway is on YouTube, but that was the long version (too many choruses) without accompaniment, and before I changed the tune just a bit to take out the high, squeaky bits. A shorter, accompanied and, well, vastly superior version will be on the new Mudcat CD set. Also I understand that Jacqui C. sang it at Herga FC in the past few weeks, if you were lucky enough to see her there. C |

14 Sep 11 - 02:04 PM (#3223190) Subject: RE: What song from June Tabor? From: Santa I wish she'd record Icarus, which I heard her sing some years back. However, clearly that's already in her repertoire, so is stretching the thread a little. |

14 Sep 11 - 02:19 PM (#3223196) Subject: RE: What song from June Tabor? From: ClaireBear Yes, and she may only sing it when he's around to accompany her. She does a glorious job on it. |

From: henryclem My own song Needle & Thread, which is also on "This is Us", is one I'd love to hear from her - I've listened to superb versions (live and recorded) by both Tom Bliss and Tom Napper, and I have had reports of different female singers performing it around the country (learned either from the 2 Toms or me) so I live in hopes ...
