TARA MACKENNEY - Teething
Have you got a sound card?
- solo 5 Lisa - As a Welsh learner the discovery of the wealth of Welsh folk song was a revelation to me and I had difficulty deciding which one to include. Here the narrator sings to his dead love of his aching yearning for her and hopes that they will be joined in death.
-with Nicola Clark vocals 6 The letter - Among other talents Nicola\rquote s Dad, Noel Clark, translates Polish poetry. This is taken from his latest book and set to music by Nicola which we performed at the launch in the Polish Cultural Institute.
7 Riddle Song-Nicola and I took a simple traditional song and played around with it as chant/lullaby/canon.
-as London Interchange with Chris Newport accordion and Nick Holder guitar 8 It suits me well (live version) -Probably the song that provoked my interest in folk music in its widest sense. I heard this on Folk on Two when I was little, again sung by Sandy Denny-it' s the old story of I' m poor but I' m free.
- with Nigel Eaton on hurdy-gurdy and percussion 9 The Cruel Mother -and English traditional song, full of dark magic and repetitive imagery, versions of which have been collected all over the place. Some versions begin, "there was a maid lived in York, who fell in love with her father' s clerk," but my favourite, learnt from the singing of Bert Lloyd, starts straight in with the action, leaving it to you to imagine why and how she got into this predicament.
- solo 10 St James Infirmary (live version) - a blues song, its origins may be in the folk song, The Unfortunate Rake, which tells of the bawdy funeral of a soldier who died of syphilis -lovely!

Side One
-as Pomegranate, Felicity Greenland vocals and bodhran 1 Puirt-a-beul - Skye calling on song learnt by Felicity and two Scots Gaelic mouth music for dancing I learnt from Christine Primrose at Gairloch Feis Rhos.
2 Le Jardinier/Hanter dro- a beautiful French ballad learnt by Felicity tells of a garden-boy stealing the heart of a young girl and a Breton dance song, words in French, where a young maid dies to save her honour, taught me at Durham Folkworks.
3 Warabe ute- Felicity lived in Japan for some time and is a great teacher. Apparently most of the words of these Japanese play-party songs are just lists of foodstuffs \endash squishy rice, noodles and beanshoots \endash and jan ken pon is stone paper scissors!
-with Nigel Mill on guitar 4 East Virginia - Sandy Denny was one of my favourite performers and I learnt this from a version sung by her.
