14 Nov 05 - 11:20 PM (#1605238) Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Sessions BBC4 From: Malcolm Douglas I missed the first one, but the writeup was quite specific that it was based on modern interpretations of the Gaelic tradition shared between Ireland and [parts of the West of] Scotland. That would be the main reason why Wales wasn't included. |

25 Nov 05 - 07:19 PM (#1613850) Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Sessions BBC4 From: concertina ceol Saw it tonight first time. Niall Vallely was on for about thirty seconds but didn't get a mention or an interview. Has he been more prominent on any of the previous shows? I have to say it's all a bit worthy, staid and slow for me. I would prefer to see Filska and/or Dochas with Nomos/Solas. I don't mind slow airs or ballads but mix it up with something else. I was looking at my watch after 15 minutes. As Darren said earlier I could not imagine the BBC airing a similar programme on English Folk music, which is a shame. |
|
25 Nov 05 - 09:26 PM (#1613900) Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Sessions BBC4 From: Effsee Frannie, I think the singer you're referring to might be Iarla o'Lionaird, definitely Irish, but then again it might be young James Graham, definitely Scots. |

25 Nov 05 - 09:32 PM (#1613903) Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Sessions BBC4 From: Effsee Having done a wee bit more research, the song is titled "I am asleep", and it was Iarla, (who also sings with Baka Beyond). |

26 Nov 05 - 04:48 PM (#1614271) Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Sessions BBC4 From: akenaton The young man with the golden voice!! I think his name is James Graham....absolutely perfect. Did anyone notice how the language is cherished by these performers, especially the Irish....They burn with emotion. Unlike the majority of Scots, the Irish value their culture and try to understand it. As Grassic Gibbon wrote in "Sunset Song" "you saw their faces in firelight, father's and mother's and the neighbours',before the lamps lit up, tired and kind, faces dear and close to you, you wanted the words they'd known and used, forgotten in the far off youngness of their lives, Scots words to tell to your heart, how they wrung and held it, the toil of their days and unendingly their fight. And the next minute that passed from you, you were English, back to the English words so sharp and clean and true - for a while, for a while, till they slid so smooth from your throat you knew they could never say anything that was worth the saying at all". |
|
27 Nov 05 - 02:50 AM (#1614517) Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Sessions BBC4 From: Manitas_at_home Don't forget that for many Scots their traditional/ancestral language has never been Gaelic. It's been discussed here a few times but there is great interest in Scots (considered as a seperate language to English or as a dialect) nowadays. |

03 Dec 05 - 01:00 PM (#1619348) Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Sessions BBC4 From: akenaton In my opinion last nights was the best so far. Its truly inspiring to see how these performers are committed to the music. The tunes and songs where all the performers join in are a joy. The sight of Mary Black holding the hand of one of the other performers as she sang, brought a lump to my throat. The final tune which involved Bagpipes , tin whistle,flute, guitar, piano,harp,and washboard was perfect. The combination of pibroch and Irish march worked very well...Ake |

03 Dec 05 - 02:48 PM (#1619405) Subject: RE: Folklore: The Highland Sessions BBC4 From: GUEST Two highlights of this latest Programme was the singing of Iarla O Lionaird his performance of "Caoineadh na dri Muire", the [Lament for the three Marys] was a classic, Mary Black and Allan MacDonald holding hands in rhythm with the music is common in the west of Ireland. Allan MacDonald`s playing of "Cumha Dhonnchaidh Mhicrath" was a treat the gradual build-up of the tune was well done, this was the same tune as "The March of the King of Laois", the Programme is of the highest standard. |

If you are interested in nickleharpers, try the website and contacts for "Michael Sanders Design". I've seen the Northumbrian Pipes he's made for himself and his first nickleharper – and he's a talented musician and regular session player so he knows the instruments from both the design and the player's viewpoint. On the other hand, if you're referring to the thing like a hybrid coffin/hammer dulcimer/bowed psaltery – I haven't a clue even what it was! |

I'm sure most of you will know of Mary Black, but you really should check out Kathleen MacInnes. Better known as an actress until she released a CD around 2006. A great voice with an incredible husky quality - kinda makes the hairs on my arms and back of my neck stand on end. I can't understand a word of gaelic, but it doesn't matter - I could listen to her all night. |
