Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is Pt. 2
Not content with inflicting my reading of Tamlyn on you all, I’ve recorded a couple more songs
Bill Norrie
First up is Bill Norrie, which I was inspired to learn when I heard Fay Hield of the Witches of Elswick singing it at the Cumberland Arms sessions. It’s a fine example of a ‘big’ ballad, and one of countless tragedies that could have been forestalled if people had simply talked to each other.
Composed in August
Composed in August is a love song by Robert Burns. It’s one of my favourite autumn songs. I got it from Lady of Autumn1 by Beggar’s Velvet. It’s a delight to sing; the tune is gorgeous and the words are lovely.
