From last Summer. At the BC Government House Music on the Lawns outdoor concert series.

With #Celtic #Scottish #musicians #friends in our local #Cookeilidh ( Cook - Kay - Lee ) band.

Cookeilidh has been delighting audiences for over 15 years with their high energy traditional, and modernized Celtic tunes. Comprised of 12-string guitar, electric bass, Irish flute, fiddle, bodhran, and vocals, they weave their own special blend of Trad with Attitude, Celtic Craic, and Pot O' Gold Folk!

Mixing the tunes of #Ireland and #Scotland, with a heaping spoonful of #Maritime flavour, and a dash of #Folk is their recipe for a modern day kitchen party!

Members and Instruments:

Dave Cook: Acoustic 12 String Guitar & Vocals
Woody Wilson: Irish Wooden Flute, Bodhran, & Bones
Tom Pogson: Electric Bass, Acoustic Bass & Vocals
Kim Cook: Fiddle, Percussion

I've been listening to Spiers & Boden's album "Fallow Ground" recently. The first track is a great version of the Australian folk song "Bluey Brink". Jon Boden added the following note about the song:

"A gem from the repertoire of Peter Bellamy and our first foray into the world of Australian folk song. Please note that drinking sulphuric acid will not make your beard catch fire, except at the subsequent cremation."

𝗟𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗲𝗻 - 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺 - 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟵
𝟱𝟲 𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗱'𝗵𝘂𝗶...
Ce deuxième album de 𝗟𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗲𝗻 s’inscrit dans la continuité de 𝙎𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙝𝙚𝙣, tout en allant vers plus de dépouillement. Il offre une ambiance intime, presque austère, portée par la voix grave du chanteur canadien.
Deux titres se sont particulièrement imposés: 𝘽𝙞𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙧𝙚 et 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙣.

 Black Rider Black Rider you’ve seen it all
 You’ve seen the great world and you’ve seen the small
 You fell into the fire and you’re eating the flame
 Better seal up your lips if you want to stay in the game

Why do music platforms insist on categorising #singersongwriters as #folk ?!?! James Blunt, David Grey = not folk music.
I'm 100% a singer/songwriter but I have ZERO connection to folk music, folk artists or the folk scene so I have to wonder why platforms just lump SSW's under the folk banner?!
Is this an American 70's legacy thing?

 Bow down to her on Sunday
 Salute her when her birthday comes
 Bow down to her on Sunday
 Salute her when her birthday comes
 For Halloween give her a trumpet
 And for Christmas, buy her a drum
