Peter Bellamy : The Fox Jumps Over the Parson's Gate

[UlyssestheFox]

My neighbour had a copy of this album... He would play it almost every Sunday afternoon (why, I never understood), and the sound would carry out his window. I loved hearing it. Apparently he sold it for more than just a pretty penny awhile back because I asked him about buying it.

Very nice. I was actually looking for Byker Hill, by Peter, which I would list as one of my top fifteen songs/tunes/renditions of all time. However, great to hear his voice again and loved the images.

@killerkarl- it floats around in various versions and names, none of which I can easily find music for. However, the melody is effectively just a few bars of the Lincolnshire poacher, which is much easier to find!

NICE SONG BUT I HATE FOX HUNTING

[killerkarl123]

Anybody got any idea of where to find the the music that is played here, or even a melody line? Cant pick this up by ear at all!

I can't see he sounds like a sheep; sometimes - as here - he's a little like Bert Lloyd. I never even realised folk music had a bad name. Chacun a son gout

[Kittielips]

Thank you.

Thanks to MorrisManDanceMan for the share also.

Sorry! His mannered vocals sounding like a sheep give folk music a bad name.

FENNYMAN - Accidentally deleted your last post (pressed remove instead of reply) so I deleted the whole exchange. It is my policy to allow comments to remain on my videos, be they positive or negative so I'll leave your original one unchallenged. Thank you for your time.

@FENNYMAN Well, yes but it's rather jolly anyway! And who else sings this nice old thing!?

Great video. Peter Bellamy was absolutely brilliant. I have the Mainly Norfolk LP which is excellent, just wish I had this LP too.

[leithl]

this brilliant! good work!

PB's first 3 albums have been re-released (oct '08) on one CD 'Fair England's Shore' - it includes the album of which this is the title track.

[slobjob13]

Great stuff.

[beanson99]

Oh this is great- where did you find the book? Masterfully put together must have taken a fair while to line it all up

[sabrinaeden]

One thing's for sure, the book's a lot easier to find than the record! Keep checking ebay for Randolph Caldecott.

I used the same bog standard video editing software (Showbiz?) we use for all the Sabrina Eden films; the shorter it is, the more reliable the synchronisation!

[ancientinfant]

Wonderful! Does anyone know a countryside pub somewhere within an hour or two of London where I could go hear traditional hunting songs performed live?

[rogthedodger]

Brilliant

Gone but not forgotten
