Cleddau Maolchalium Blues.


Thank you Susan for this photoshopped compilation. I'm not like this at all. I'm really a quiet, retiring sort of person who likes country walks, animals, dining out and chats by the fire side. And would also like to help people in the third world.. The name Cleddau Maolchalium is because I live near the Cleddau River. And like John Hurt the river gets in your blood.... I would like to thank the following people for taking the photographs. Sharon. Tracey, Brenda, Trix, Babs, Estelle, Tiger, Rhiannon, Mary, Marge, Mango, Leez, Fran, Spit Cat, Peaches, Apples, Raspberry, Bannana Girl, Helga, Pat, Kath, Butter Cream, and the girl with the bottle of coconut oil and many others.

The Rock Island Line. Donegan


Early Lonnie Donegan 1957..... The concealed 'pig iron' might be referring to smuggling slaves to freedom. "Rock Island Line" is an American blues/folk song, which was performed and first recorded by Lead Belly in the 1930s. Versions of the song have been recorded by many other artists. While the song is ostensibly about the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, from the lyrics there is evidence to suggest that the "railroad" referred-to is actually the Underground Railroad, a slave escape route Wikipedia

This Train - Ken Colyer's Skiffle Group - 1954


This example of the earliest Ken Colyer Skiffle group involves a distinct collaboration between Ken and, of course, Lonnie Donegan, both instrumentally and vocally. For skiffle Chris Barber played string bass which had been his second study instrument at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Bill Colyer resumed a position he had held with The Cranes when needed on washboard. This Train features Ken and Lonnie in a duo vocal

Good Mornin' Blues - The Westcott Skiffle -


An old Leadbelly number revitalised sometime during the 1950's by a British group. This track is taken from the CD 'The Skiffle Explosion' which covers the period when this type of music was reintroduced to the public. I've lost the sleeve notes, and though I remember this number in my younger days, know nothing about the Westcott Skiffle Group. Perhaps someone can fill this in on the comments section. The dawn was photographed from my bedroom window looking out over the Preseli Mountains towards Llandissilio. The later pictures are really the sunset and not the dawn taken from Newgale, Pembrokeshire, Wales.

THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL - Lonnie Donegan


The legend of The Midnight Special is that a train would pass the prison each day at midnight and its headlight would flash through the bars and into the prison. The superstition was that if the light shone on you, that meant you would be the next man to get out of the prison. Lead Belly saw John Lomax as his Midnight Special, his way to get out of Angola. He asked Lomax to record a song he had written, a plea to Louisiana Gov. OK Allen to release him from prison. Lead Belly asked Lomax to deliver the recording to Gov. Allen. At the end of the song, Lead Belly made sure to tell the governor his given name and exactly where he could be found in prison. Then in the late 1950's Lonnie got it into the charts and from then on.. Or.... The Midnight Special is a replay of the auld devil's black coach or hunt or horse myth which is coming to take us all away. ...................... Coming for me soon :-(

Freight Train - Chas McDavitt - Nancy Whisky


Nancy Whiskey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Nancy Whiskey (b Anne Alexandra Young Wilson, Bridgeton, Glasgow, Scotland, 4 March 1935 -- d 1 February 2003) was a Scottish folk singer, best known for the 1957 hit song "Freight Train". While attending art school in Glasgow, Anne Wilson performed on the local folk club circuit where she met fellow singer and guitarist Jimmie MacGregor who introduced her to blues and hillbilly music. She took her stage name from a folk song which had a chorus of "Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy, whiskey". She was signed to Topic Records and moved to London in 1955. Although reluctant to surrender her reputation as a solo performer, she was persuaded to join the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group to record Elizabeth Cotten's song "Freight Train". The record made the UK top five in 1957, and she also toured the USA with McDevitt's group. After a second, smaller hit, "Greenback Dollar", Whiskey left the group to resume a solo career and marry musician Bob Kelly, who became a member of her backing group, the Teetotallers. By the 1970s, she had largely retired from music.
