20 Oct 01 - 04:46 PM (#576421) Subject: Burning Times From: Wyrd Sister In 1992 I heard Roy Bailey sing this song. It meant a lot because my mother had just died and we are a strongly matriarchal family. (It got mixed up somehow with "Listen more often to things than to beings", very cathartic!) I have found the name of the song and some old threads, but I can't find out which recording it's on (Roy's version please,not Christy Moore). By the way, does this mean I'm a proper Mudcatter now and no longer need to feel guilty cluttering up with inane remarks on BS threads? |

20 Oct 01 - 06:22 PM (#576462) Subject: RE: Help: Burning Times From: Linda Kelly Chris Sherbourne and Denny Bartley do an amazing version of this quite unlike any other. Jane used to play the bodhran and with Denny's wonderful voice it used to give me the shivers! It's on their 'Live at the wharf' album I believe. |

20 Oct 01 - 06:34 PM (#576476) Subject: RE: Help: Burning Times From: Susanne (skw) I quite like both Roy's and Christy's versions, but both pale compared to the one I've heard a Glasgow woman named Avril do. I only heard her twice, and never got round to taping her, but her rendition was really really scary! As though she was experiencing everything the song is about. |

20 Oct 01 - 08:30 PM (#576536) Subject: RE: Help: Burning Times From: AliUK This used to be ( still is actually) the centerpiece of my set. I remember singing it once at Towersey folk festival , and at the part where it goes... they were bonded in ther worship of a dead man on a cross. The bells of the local church started to chime...brrr! spoookay. Great song. Written by some american dude if I m not mistaken. |

As Malcolm indicated it is on a Fuse compilation of Bailey's work which includes 4 songs from 'Freedom Peacefully' - 'Burning Times', 'What You Do With What You've Got', 'Hard Times of Old England' and 'New Year's Eve'. --Stewie. |

21 Oct 01 - 05:22 AM (#576659) Subject: RE: Help: Burning Times From: Skipper Jack Burning Times was written by Charlie Murphy. I think Roy Bailey's version is brilliant with instrumental backing by two members of Brass Monkey, namely John Kirkpatrick and Howard Evans and the backing vocals of Val & Katherine Bailey, Sue Harris and Peta Webb. It is quite a dramatic presentation. It can be found on Roy Bailey's LP., "Freedom Peacefully." |

21 Oct 01 - 06:39 PM (#576974) Subject: RE: Help: Burning Times From: Dita Susanne (skw), the singer your thinking of is Avril Cleland, who sang/sings in Diggery Venn, Radical Road, and the Govan Spoonful. She performs it both unaccompanied, and in a band version with the Rads. She has not recorded it. love, john |

21 Oct 01 - 08:22 PM (#577066) Subject: RE: Help: Burning Times From: Susanne (skw) Thanks, John, but I thought she might not like having her full name displayed. She seems a bit shy about her solo singing. Please tell her and Ian I was asking for them if you happen to run into them. |

22 Oct 01 - 08:51 AM (#577294) Subject: RE: Help: Burning Times From: GUEST,Dita (at work) Will do Susanne, I see Ian at least once a week. Avril's not shy about her singing (especially solo), she just gets embarrased when anyone praises her to her face. I should know, as I've been making music with her and Ian since about 1984. In fact she is singing more on her own these days, as the Rads only play now and again, and she doesn't sing with the Govans, (she plays whistle). love, john |
