Martin Carthy - Scarborough Fair 1965

Martin Carthy - Scarborough Fair Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, Remember me to one who lives there, For once she was a true love of mine. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, Without no seam nor fine needlework, And then shell be a true love of mine. Tell her to find me an acre of land, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, Between the salt water and the sea-strand, And then shell be a true love of mine. Tell her to plough it with a land's (sheeps) horn, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, And to sow it all over with one peppercorn, And then shell be a true love of mine. Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, .......... And then shell be a true love of mine. Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, Remember me to one who lives there, For once she was a true love of mine.

MARTIN CARTHY - LORD FRANKLIN

Illustrated story of Franklin's fateful Arctic expedition, with Martin Carthy's moving version of Lord Franklin taken from his second album - 1966. Lyrics below. Lord Franklin It was homeward bound one night on the deep Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep I dreamed a dream and I thought it true Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew. With a hundred seamen he sailed away To the frozen ocean in the month of May To seek that passage around the pole Where we poor sailors do sometimes go. Through cruel hardships his men did go His ship on mountains of ice was drove, Where the Eskimo in his skin canoe Was the only one who ever came through. In Baffin Bay where the whale fish blow The fate of Franklin no man may know; The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell Lord Franklin long with his sailors do dwell. And now my burden it gives me pain For my long-lost Franklin I'd cross the main Ten thousand pounds would I freely give To know on earth, that my Franklin do live.

The lyrics are from the Napoleonic period. Some verses are the voice of a wife or sweetheart. The verse that compares sailors and soldiers is a well-known whore's ditty of the time.

Martin Carthy - Oor Hamlet

Recorded on October 17, 1991 at Graffiti's, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and released on The Carthy Chronicles. The author Adam McNaughtan is a teacher and singer from Glasgow. He wrote this stunning retelling of a familiar tale partly as a way of selling Shakespeare to inner city school children. His original is much more Scottish in its expression and Martin's version anglicises the song for a broader audience.

"Josef Locke" by Eliza Carthy and Norma Waterson LIVE at Birmingham Town Hall

'Josef Locke' was the stage name of Joseph McLaughlin (23 March 1917 -- 15 October 1999), an Irish tenor singer who was successful in the United Kingdom and Ireland in the 1940s and 1950s. Here are words of this song by Richard Thompson. To me it has a very Brechtian feel to it. The song is supposed to be based upon a real encounter in London in the 1960s... by someone claiming to be Locke and Richard Thomson folk guitar hero, ex-Fairport Convention and singer song writer . So if you feel like singing along here you are:- 'My name is Josef Locke God bless all here and state your pleasure If you'll refill my glass I'll sing Ave Maria I'll sing The Old Bog Road or A Shawl of Galway Grey And I've been gone from you for some while Those English tax men they've cramped my style And if you think I'm some fraud upstart Just let my voice be my calling card It melted hearts, and royal teardrops fell They loved me well, they loved me well My name is Josef Locke Ladies and gents, now on your honour This is a damn poor show You'll not call me a drunkard I've sung for kings and princes How the memories still glow O cessate di piagiarmi O lasciate mi morir O lasciate mi morir... All the applause, all the cheers and cries How many times did that curtain rise And now you dare mock the Singing Bobby I'll find the door, take your bullies off me A sweeter age it was that loved me well They loved me well' Read more: www.metrolyrics.com The Gift Band here with Norma and Eliza is Martin Carthy <b>...</b>
Martin Carthy - Seven Yellow Gypsies (montage)

No copyright claim, against any audio or image content, is assumed in the publishing of this video. Copyright is owned by original artist or artists, or their legally appointed representatives. www.watersoncarthy.com from the 1969 Fontana Records album "Prince Heathen" with Dave Swarbrick (fiddle) reissued on "Martin Carthy: A Collection" He also sang it live in studio in July 2006 for the DVD "Guitar Maestros" From the original sleeve notes: "There is a whole school of thought which seeks to show that ballads are records of historical occurrences. Possibly they are but I can't see that it matters two hoots. The idea of a wife being taken by the gypsies is as old as the gypsies themselves. I have taken the liberty of filling the story out by plundering different versions."

Eliza Carthy Band : Lavenders : Monto Water Rats 18 March 2010

The Eliza Carthy Band play Lavenders at the legendary Monto Water Rats in Grays Inn Road, London on 18 March 2010. Eliza and the band played a set that not only featured most of the superb, largely self-penned, Dreams of Breathing Underwater album (including the song featured here), but also played a handful of new songs, destined for the next album. If you haven't heard Dreams of Breathing Underwater, but like what you are hearing here, I suggest that you give it a go. I liked it so much I bought it twice! Thats not quite as crazy as it sounds though. I bought it on CD when it first came out in 2008 - and when it was re-mastered & re-issued on 180 gram vinyl with a bonus 7" single earlier this year I bought it again! The vinyl version is a thing of great beauty btw - so if you are a vinyl junkie, seek it out; it sounds amazing! Finally, with regards to this performance, special mention must go to the astonishing Barney Morse-Brown on cello - simply stunning! Barney also plays with Eliza in the Imagined Village project btw.
