Silly Sisters - Agincourt Carol/La Route au Beziers

Wow. I've been aware of Maddy Prior's and June Tabor's music for many years - individually - but never together. Definitely (even) greater than the sum of their parts.. !

This is absolutley the best version and interpretation of this song ever.

[Clothosx]

@Poitierswarbows I wholeheartedly agree.

[Poitierswarbows]

@Clothosx :-) in a similair vein is 'the wizard's well' a great sounding ambient and mysterious piece of music, sung in Breton by Annie Ebrel, which also features Dan Ar Braz on guitar as does the silly sisters album: watch?v=OBo6fYT0ad8

This is real music:quality, lyrically, composition, meaning, instrumentally, etc. Thank you "Sily sisters" for making seriously beautiful music.

While I enjoy this a lot I prefer The Young Tradition's rendition. But its all opinion, and a great rendition none the less.

vocalisation beyond compare, Silly Sisters and No More To The Dance are just superb from start to finish.

The first verse of this is the beginning of Ewan McColl's fabulous 'Bringing the Summer Home'. Wonderful! Has anyone got the Silly Sisters singing 'The devil and bailiff McGlynn'? I can't find it anywhere and I know they recorded it.

Beautiful harmonies !!  Phalaïna

Sure would like to hear a brand new Silly Sisters album.

[PaMairi]

i love how their voices blend together into one incredible sound. They don't need instrumentation, Thank you.

I've just been introduced to the wonderful folk music of these two women. I plan on seeking out as much as I can. Thank you!

Oops! Now that I´m seeing the video I note that some images are wrong. They report the victory of the portuguese army in a war with Castile. The battle was called «Aljubarrota» and happend in 1385, 14 th August, and the portugues had a big help from the english, at that time big portuguese friends, or better, big castilian enemies.Anyway,good video.

[Massivo07]

Fantastic harmonies. One of the best silly sisters CD. What a two great ladies!
