20 Sep 19 - 03:54 PM (#4009743) Subject: Footage of The Young Tradition? From: GUEST,BlackAcornUK Is anyone aware of any surviving film footage of The Young Tradition singing together? My inept YouTube explorations haven't turned anything up, but this feels like the place to ask. I would love to see anything that does remain - it would be great to glimpse the dynamic that they shared. |

From: The Sandman Interesting interview, quote.. the singer and the song are most important, not the arrangement. true up to a point, however a good arrangement or accompaniment can enhance a song, but should always be secondary to vocal interpretation of lyrics. |

From: The Sandman I think the quality of his singing is much better on black acorns clip, his diction is clearer than on the song, bill brown. Peter was a singer who had good stage presence-in my opinion. thankyou for the clips it was a pleasure to hear him again |

Also, if I may be so bold - I've been thinking of writing a piece on The Holly Bears the Crown - if that idea advances, please might it be OK to get in touch? If I did so, would the best route be via the FMSNY? Many further thanks, all |
