Eliza Carthy: Cold Wet & Rainy Night

[ApatheticLeader]

Wonderful song!

I wish I remembered the day I discovered folk music, as it is a special day in my life.

[rayggallagher1974]

What's the tune at the end?

[BobTheMunificent]

@rayggallagher1974 She segues into The Grand Hornpipe (the sleeve notes tell me) - a very jolly tune methinks.

[AllyB750]

love this - great instrumental and singing Thanks

[ClintDuza]

I love folk music, I never want it to die out because it is the greatest music, no other style gives you a sense of your roots like it. I love it when you know people have grown up listening to it and you can all burst into song together!

[wornpick1]

Love Eliza, and her parents too - they are my generation.

[jimmysherriff]

I.m not into folk music but I have only recently bought The Imagined Village album and quite like. I love the version of Cold Hailey Windy Night on the album but I like this version as well. Some nice fiddle playing.

[LiverpoolPhilHall]

The Imagined Village are touring in 2010! Catch them live at: Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, 18 January 2010.

hi liza ur just brilliant and the waterson-carthy's always does it for me-ps cant yo do cropredy?paulx

[Hellishhorse]

Marry me Eliza! I'll whisk you away on my jet black steed in a very folky fashion!

[o0micmac0o]

she might marry you, but in true English folk fashion, you'll probably end up working on some ship & dying horribly or something! :~)

(& in answer to your reply above - ta for the clarification - I don't think I have seen a live Sikh drum band, but would like to)

Cheers

MM.

True!.......or be kidnapped by faeries, hung for poaching or [as in "king henry" ]forced to wed a 15ft hag! .yours [still trying to get sent to Australia for stealing sheep] Hellishhorse. [P.S I live opposite a Sikh temple-plenty of Dhol!]

[Jarrahnut]

She's a wonderful artist! So are her Mum and Dad - Norma and Martin. I've been following Martin since about 1964.

Greetings to one and all from Colin in wonderful Western Australia.

[o0micmac0o]

Have y'all heard the Imagined Village version?

e.g live 'Later' version here - watch?v=3QC2av7-_Ik

Very different, but superb too. Eliza sings on it too. They were at Glasto & Cambridge this year.

The album is really good stuff too - mainly modern reworkings/rewritings of old folk tunes, using young & old musicians/artists from different backgrounds.

[meandmymandola]

Imagined village in fantastic!

Cold haily rainy night is fantastic with the (Indian/Pakistani?) drumming

I play 'Tam Lyn' to my hardcore rap friends and their like: "This isn't bad" :-)

everyone needs to go out and buy that album!

[o0micmac0o]

I thought dohl drums were Pakistani, but a quick google makes me think maybe they're not - possibly largely from the Sikh tradition & Punjab region of India (& bhangra music) - (apologies if this is nonsense! - please somebody correct me if it is?)

The Imagined Village dhol-player is Johnny Kalsi (Dhol Foundation, & Afro Celts).

Yes the album is great, my favourite of last year.

If you like Cold Haily... there's a Glastonbury version up here too?

watch?v=aW9S89FWhjg

top stuff.

[Hellishhorse]

Yep- Indian; if you get the chance try and experience a Sikh drum band- twenty Dohl players sound amazing. I sold my Dohl 10yrs ago- I wish I had'nt!

[beccabock]

brilliant song!

[greendale25]

Who's that playing the melodeon?

[BobTheMunificent]

The sleeve notes say Martin Ellison. He has a myspace page (but youtube doesn't allow URLs in comments)...

[maleevafan]

Great video! I love this song, thanks for uploading it :)
