about
When I lived in the village of Blaxhall in East Suffolk, singers 'owned' those songs they'd inherited from family or friends. I had ownership of this song while I was there and was always called upon to sing it in tune-ups in 'The Ship' pub. These words are from Suffolk Gypsy singer Phoebe Smith and Percy Web. The tune is Phoebe's. Radik responds with a Tuvan song of lost love learnt from his grandmother.
lyrics
Oh once I loved a young man as I loved my life
To keep him in flash company has ruined me quite,
Has ruined my life, like a great many more,
If it hadna been for flash company, I should never been so poor.
Chorus: So it’s take the yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me,
Tie that round your neck my love in your flash company
Flash company’s been the ruin o’ me like a great many more,
If it hadna been for flash company, I should never been so poor.
Oh once I had a colour as red as a rose,
Now my colour has changed, love, like the lily that grows,
Like a flower in the garden with me colour all gone,
Don’t you see what I am coming to for love of that one.
Oh it’s fiddling and a’dancing, sure it was my delight,
Flash company’s been the ruin of me, the ruin of me quite,
Flash company’s been the ruin of me like a great many more,
If it hadna been for flash company, I’d never been so poor.
So come all you pretty fair young maids take a warning by me,
Never build your nest my love in the top of a tree,
For the green leaves will wither and the branches will decay,
And the beauty of a fair young maid will soon fade away.

The superlatives and adjectives stack up and seem all too obvious to give this piece of work the credit it deserves, in short bad poetry would devalue the purity of the project; but lets check them off, haunting, moving, achingly beautiful, soulful, unsettling, emotive, heart-breaking and warmly consoling, a thing of profound beauty- everything a grown-up audience could want from a grown up collection. Thank you Angeline. Neil S. Reddy
David Carrol joins with friends from Fairport Convention and Gryphon to bring us this absolutely lovely progressive folk release. Comprised of mostly traditional tunes, along with stellar covers of David Cousins' "The Battle," and Andy Barnes’ “The Last Leviathan.” Utilizing both period (crumhorns, cor anglaise, uilleann pipes, fiddle, tabla, bouzouki and dulcimer) to modern (bass, drums and electric guitar) instrumentation, this is timeless and thoroughly enjoyable.
