Dé Danann! Dé Dannan! And this fiery version by @BrimstoneFolk! Thanks so much to Clare & the gang for their contribution to the project; check them out at brimstonefolk.co.uk

Have you heard John C Reillys version tho

What do you think, is it sarcastic?

Today’s guests are the fantastic Daisy Chute and Lara Eidi! Happy #BurnsNight to one and all.

January 24: Some Tyrant Has Stolen My True Love Away It’s #stpaulseve so i shouldve picked some kind of damascene song, but instead this one will serve as our warm-up into #burnsnight. Can’t wait to reveal what we’ve prepared for you for tomorrow! Meanwhile, have a listen to the versions discussed here by @katerusby @sarahjarosz @christhile and let us know what you love most about them!

January 23: I Drew My Ship What’s your favourite version of this song, and where did you first hear it? I had one but it’s been superseded by another: the collaboration heard here between Wendy Lanchin & Alison Frosdick of Rumpled Muslin… soaring vocals & heavenly harmonim! Wendy says she was first introduced to this most english of songs upon hearing a recording of it by norwegian band Ba...

Sydney Carter wrote this about John Ball who in 1381 as part of the peasants’ revolt was arrested for teaching unorthodox religion; 600 years after his death it’s hard to find a choir who DON’T have this in their repertoire…! Love the unusually fast pace of this Manchoir rendition. Give them a follow. Full clip via https://linktr.ee/365daysoffolk #folk #民间 #gente #लोक  #january #一月 #enero #जनव...

January 21: The Cuckoo Such a simple song but SUCH a rich history and tradition of singers making it their own… thanks to @kerry.andrew, Maddy Prior, Jacqui McShee, for the inspiration on this one!

January 19: Mill o’ Tiftys Annie  Sung by the inspirational Amanda MacLean of Sharps Folk Club. Amanda published a novel based on the story in the ballad, in 2015, called The Flax Flower (available on Amazon and on lulu.com in both ebook and paperback)… a must-read! @Full clip via https://linktr.ee/365daysoffolk #folk #民间 #gente #लोक  #january #一月 #enero #जनवरी  #oldmusic #旧音乐 #musicaantigu...

@dgsolaris sings this so beautifully; it puts me straight back to the pages of Woody Guthrie’s “Bound for Glory” as he & Cisco ride the roads, in hopes of reaching mystic California. For more of this heavenly singing BE SURE to grab @dgsolaris’s album “Spirit Glow” and catch the live shows: 2024-04-28 @hydeparkbookclub  2024-06-20 @hydeawayfrome  Full clip via https://linktr.ee/365daysoffolk #...

January 14: Days Gone By Loved learning this one of @boden_jon’s original songs as part of the project and can’t wait to perform it live someday soon. Fantastic songwriting!

January 13: Ruins By The Shore Onr from the rarities collection “In Search Of Nic Jones”, showcasing his original songwriting. It’s hard to articulate the breathtaking beauty of Nic’s musical talents… this song, for instance, somehow captures the whole of humanity’s history in just ten short lines of pithy verse, turning our self-centredness back in on itself as the millennia roll. The very fine p...

Sung by the brilliant Alison Frosdick. I’m thrilled to have alison’s contribution to this as her various appearances on YouTube (see the Sharps Folk Club channel) are proof of the immense joy & encouragement she has brought to so many musicians! It was a pleasure to collaborate on this particularly ethereal arrangement painting a picture of the wintery wynd. https://linktr.ee/365daysoffolk #fo...

Sung by the brilliant George Washbourn. SO excited to have George’s contribution to this project! Follow him via @georgewashbourn1 https://linktr.ee/365daysoffolk Peggy Gordon is a popular trad song from Nova Scotia. I’ve never heard anyone do such interesting things with it — check out those string layers and key changes!? And all in the course of a single afternoon. We’re doing these recordings...
