The Poolie Bunker

How did it go last night, then?

Here is my list of some favourite folk songs tho it was very hard as I like dozens almost equally.
Right:
Go to sea no more
Whisky on a Sunday
Dirty Old Town
Polly on the Shore
January Man
Handweaver and the factory maid (slow version)
Evergreen
Lowlands
Old Horse
Cold Haily Windy Night
The Grey Cockerel
The Blackleg Miner
Galway Races
I sowed some seeds
Shoals of herring
Farewell to Angus

Last night went well,not many there,but those of us that were enjoyed Mr Folk Daddy.I would happily book him to play again.

I don't know where all the folkies have gone in Hartlepool. Used to know everyone who went to the folk club there, at least by sight, but last time I went to a folk gig at the Studio I didn't recognise a single person.

Anyway, glad it went well on Sat

cheers Groovesome one



I know about half of them Grabey - some cracking songs there!, probably have heard the others sung but dont recognise the titles....blame it on the Gin

How many folk singers does it take to change a light bulb?

Five, one to change the bulb and four to sing about how great the old one was.

ah yes, the old great lightbulb song!
surprised its not one of Grabeys faves really as its a belter!!


touche btw

herrings eyes puddings and pies
herrings heed loaves of bread
and AAAAAAAAAall manner of things!

of all the fish that swim in the sea
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy the herring, thats the one for me!!



irritating as fook that song, but worth a laugh and a singalong all the same!

folk songs are boss
end of!

I KNOW!!

I remember the good old days.
Those days that were both good and old.
Things that were better previously.
Things that were better before.

We ate fish such as herring and codling
and kippers or trout for our tea.
And we sang as we troughed our pescados,
back then things were better for me.

Old Horse just made me think of 'My Lovely Horse' from Father Ted, the Eurovision episode.

download lowlands offa da Daddy then you'll that an all....second thoughts, wouldn't bother! my versions sh ite!

Well I am flattered to think that it was I who persuaded Elvis that life is a little complicated after all. And without even trying.

Why only last week he saw no humour at all in Louise's comments about other people's choice of topic and thought it simple to ignore posts he wasn't interested in. Now he is creased up like a folk concertina.

So, it's well done to him......one day he may deserve the status of moderator, like

Not that one, duck.
'Out of Yarmouth harbour I was faring
as a cabin boy on a fishing vessel
hunting for the shoals of herring'

That one. Ewan MacColl, I think

yeahIknow *said in a Lou and Andy voice*

was just reciting some herring lyrics and they were the only ones I could think of! [shamefully]
