04 Oct 11 - 12:24 PM (#3233722) Subject: Review: Phien O'Phien - Hum Hum From: GUEST,Autonomy The track Hum Hum Hum is the first track to be released for public hearing by Phien O'Phien, a singer of the Irish traveller community. His songs are heartfelt and real portraits of the experience of being an Irish traveller in modern society, along with others which cover more traditional times. Persecution has always been the lot of Irish travellers, and just so it was for the Celts destroyed as they were by the Roman empire - many folk songs indeed deal with this issue such as 'Only Our Rivers Run Free' and so on, older ones as well but my memory's bad. Check out the track Hum Hum Hum, about the Dale Farm eviction situation, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIIptoRzQaw [Autonomy] |

07 Oct 11 - 03:02 PM (#3235481) Subject: RE: Dale Farm Protest Song From: Richard Bridge I agree with MG, for once. The major obstacle to travellers travelling is the absence of legal stopping places. |

If it's not a music thread an should be moved, I'm thinking it doesn't need to exist. I'm also thinking people should use one consistent identity or risk having all their stuff deleted. --Jeri, half moderator and half disappointed (but unsurprised) contributor. |

We didn't know you couldn't use the same email address or use the same person (non trav) to send the messages. |

If people want to make political points about Dale Farm, rather than comment on the song, then please would they use the BS section below. Matthew |

Review: Phien O'Phien - Hum Hum - 1 post - 12 Oct 2010 " This thread has been deleted" The date seems to be wrong but there was a thread that was a review which seems to have been deleted. We have explained we use one computer but 4 people have guested..if thats not allowed we apologise. |

10 Oct 11 - 11:04 AM (#3236744) Subject: RE: Dale Farm Protest Song /Phien O'Phien "Hum Hum" From: GUEST,999 The other thread was NOT deleted. It was combined with this one. I was reading both threads and no review was deleted. I am just a guy, not an elf. It seems that a troll got a few posts in and those posts were deleted. The music section is not a place for political dog fights. It's a place to discuss music. |

10 Oct 11 - 01:17 PM (#3236826) Subject: RE: Dale Farm Protest Song /Phien O'Phien "Hum Hum" From: Stilly River Sage If four of you are using the same computer and you're all guests the best way to participate in a conversation (so we all know who we're talking to) is for each of you to adopt and consistently use your own monikers, such as your name "Red John." I don't remember seeing the post you mentioned, I may not have gotten to it if threads moved around. Here is a cut and paste of the review in question from the site linked above: Phien O'Phien is a long time activist on behalf of the Irish traveller community. He has for some time been writing folk songs about the experience of Irish travellers, Hum Hum Hum being one of them. The context (provenance) of the song is an important part of the discussion. But the mud slinging that happens with political discourse isn't needed when recording information about the song. SRS |

As Phien has been on here much longer than us (we came on this site after googling Phien lately) we have decided not to post anymore and again apologise for any disruption...Thank you.

11 Oct 11 - 03:06 PM (#3237340) Subject: RE: Dale Farm Protest Song /Phien O'Phien "Hum Hum" From: Dave the Gnome I like the song far better than forty foot trailer - But I guess that is all subjective. It seems more 'real' somehow. How do we pronounce 'an munia tober'? Is it as written? Anyone? Cheers DtG |

11 Oct 11 - 07:08 PM (#3237481) Subject: RE: Dale Farm Protest Song /Phien O'Phien "Hum Hum" From: GUEST,Phien O'Phien As it is written Thank you for the compliment...30ft/40ft trailer is a good song but me thinks it spoke to soon...we, the Pavee, are still here...just...no more than 80/100,000 Pavee left in the world. |
