RedM Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Do the Oyster Band count as folk music? We had the *cough* pleasure of seeing them once. I came close to chewing my arm off and beating myself unconscious with it but they stopped just in time. The fact that their bass player wore a Propagandhi shirt didn't save them. Apart from that, can't help ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Only Mulligan and O'Hare I'm afraid. Mulligan and O'Hare. Didn't they have a song which went "but oh! my view of you is obscured by Gerard Depardieu"? They were proper creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I've spent some time playing bodran with my mates. That was mostly folk and Ceilidh stuff, as well as piss-take folk versions of rock/punk songs (Anarchy In The UK played in G, C & D, country style and sung in a broad Lancashire accent was hilarious). What's tha want to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Bodran - single skinned Irish drum, held in one hand whilst played with a double-ended beater between the finger/thumb of the other. Sorry, I'd missed the bottom of that post completely. As far as CD's, Fairport Convention may be worth looking at, possibly the most widely heard folk music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montezumola Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Animal - you're right there about Fairport Convention - well, that's what my girlfriend says ... I'm not exactly a fan of folk music As for CD ideas ... she heartily recommends Leige & Lief by Fairport Convention ... or anything by Steeleye Span ...
