30 Jan 04 - 02:14 AM (#1104903) Subject: Review: Hissyfit: A Fish out of water From: Catherine Jayne This is the Duo of Linda Kelly and Hazel Ritchings (that were so wonderful at last years Yorkshire gatering) and is a CRACKER. The Harmonys are amazing and the song selection excellent witha mixture of Traditional and some of Lindas (increasinly known and performed) songs included. The Track list is Northern tide North Cape Calling Thiepval broomlee Lough Ye Banks and Braes Gallows Waltz Three Drunken Maidens The Maiden and the Rose Luckiest sailor Farewell to Tarwathie Sparehand Octavius Even if they hadn't included a song I co-wrote (*grin*) I would recommend this CD especially if you like the wonderful blending of two female voices in Harmony this is one for you!!!! |

I knew it would be as Linda and Hazel have the loveliest voices I've ever heard but this was the first time I'd heard some of the songs Linda has written and they are stunning....especially my little fat uncle's Thiepval....pure magic! Run, don't walk to get this, folks....you won't be sorry! |

31 Jan 04 - 03:27 PM (#1106057) Subject: RE: Review: Hissyfit: A Fish out of water From: harpmaker My father came to visit me the other day, as he used to work in the fishing industry, I thought he would like to hear this cd. Well,, when the track 'luckiest sailor' was playing, you could see he was visibly moved as he listend to the story in the song. He told me that he knew the 'Peridot' and some of the people that sailed on her, and remembers her going down. I told him to take the cd home so my mother could have a listen. The following day she rang me to say how much she enjoyed it and said when 'Octavious' came on, it made her cry! I would like to thank Linda & Hazel, Val & Mike. This cd really touched me & my folks. |

03 Feb 04 - 08:01 PM (#1108662) Subject: RE: Review: Hissyfit: A Fish out of water From: GUEST Well, you all beat me to it! One word says it all; stunning. The voices complement each other perfectly and it's so difficult to pick a favourite - though Octavia is simply spine tingling. Apart from the sheer musicianship throughout John (harpmaker) has put a great deal of TLC into the production of the CD. Get your orders in quickly folks, as I'm sure copies will move fast. |

04 Feb 04 - 05:44 PM (#1109483) Subject: RE: Review: Hissyfit: A Fish out of water From: Jeri It just arrived today, and I'm on my 3rd time through. The short review is: if you like traditional English music and beautiful new songs with an older flavor, The arrangements and harmonies are wonderful. The songs sound original, but gently, like something you'd swear you've heard somewhere before. Most sound like instant classics. You know - the songs many folks will be talking about in a while and singing a bit later on. This is a stunning collection of songs, consistently masterfully written and beautifully arranged and performed. Linda, thanks. Yes, it sounds a bit 'home-grown', but the quality of the music shines all the more for that. |

12 Feb 04 - 04:02 AM (#1114661) Subject: New Hissyfit CD From: GUEST,Chris Hi there, I've tried to find the proper thread where people have been reviewing this CD but have had no luck. The CD I am referring to is 'a Fish Out of Water' and if you hav'nt heard it yet I strongly recommend that by fair means or foul, you get your hands on a copy. I am doubly blessed with hearing Linda and Heather regularly at Nellies Folk Club, where their beautiful songs can be heard in an atmospheric setting. Seriously, the harmony that those two possess is unrivalled in the East Yorkshire area and when I let some of my friends on the wider folk circuit hear it, I expect there to be a migration! Chris Post moved from second thread. Found this thread by typing 'hissyfit' in the filter, setting it to 7 days and clicking 'Refresh'. --JoeClone |

20 Feb 04 - 05:50 PM (#1120062) Subject: RE: Review: Hissyfit: A Fish out of water From: John Routledge Summary - A very enjoyable CD - Buy one!! Have now played A Fish out of Water many times and the enjoyment increases with each playing. The material is very varied and for once I tended to prefer the newer material much of which was written by Linda herself. It is difficult to overestimate what a wonderful selection of songs there are on the CD Overall there is a wonderful feeling of musicality which to use Jeri's words "shines through the whole album" When Linda and Hazel sing together "live" the atmosphere is generally electric and much of this has transferred to the CD on many of the tracks. The CD will be a revelation to those who have not heard them sing before Several tracks really stand out particularly THIEPVAL (words by Micca) Octavius, Northern Tide, and inevitably Spare Hand and Luckiest Sailor both written from Linda's personal experience. I have no doubt that I will be enjoying this CD for a long while to come - Congratulations to all concerned. |

Learnt HTML one afternoon last week, so that's why there are no flashy bits. Please sign the guestbook, or don't its up to you. John from Hull-please write in English. |

Yes it was great to see you at WFF and it's only days til we'll see you at Saddleworth! Micca - TIME , that 4 letter word! Linda has written some cracking new songs which we aired at Warwick and the next CD is high on our list of 'things we really should have done by now. Let us rest and recover from this (and next) weekend and we'll be on the case. (Please DO NOT hold your breath - we may be some time). Linda is still generally incommunicado with a B'd computer but that too is on 'The List'. H. |
