The Corries- My Dear only Love {Rare Recording}

[MrColin1402]

This lovely poem was discovered and put to music by my friend Ian Richardson who was frontman of Brocade in the seventies. He also wrote Scotland will Flourish, also recorded by the Corries and was Donald Dewars favourite 'anthem'

[lilblubasterdify]

What a lovely tune! So simply arranged and performed, Great listening!

[smilepurr]

I was just reading the wiki Corries entry and they say the combolins were of Roys making?

[meezergeezer]

This is a lovely musical version of one of the most interesting, compelling love poems ever written. Five stars and two thumbs up!

[StripeyDusty45]

wow Ive never heard this song on their CDs! great!

[DiegoElArbol]

This song is unbelievably beautiful and no one can play it better than the Corries

[fanvasvart]

The Corries! - THE voice of Scotland.....gives me goosbumps:)

[carole7351]

Thank you! Although I live in California, the Corries are my very favorite folk singers of all time. Love the purity of their voices and Scottish souls.

[LindsayCurran]

Thanks, for correction, jk! I've been deliriously listening, and reversed it, there! Roy Williamson, of course you are right, invented and made the combolins... I'm so giddy with listening discovering song after song after song: aren't they grand, though?

[LindsayCurran]

Many thanks!! First time I have seen Roy playing the Combolin Ronnie made for him!

[jesuskrizt]

Its Fab! Pretty sure that ROY made both the Combolins amongst other instruments!!

[pomemax]

can any one tell me whats the instrument Roys playing i have never see one but i like the sound

[fireflyxl5]

Hello! Its called a combolin. Glad you liked the clip. Best Wishes Firefly.

[lecapitandepugwash]

@fireflyxl5 I think Roy designed and built it himself.....could be wrong.

They both use it on Loch Tay Boat song.

@pomemax the instrument roy is playing is called a combolin.he designed it himself i dont know if he had a hand in building it also.there were only a few of them made.i think his wife sold them after he died.so some lucky person ownes something so rare and wonrerful sounding

[wea28annie]

[dogochoc]

Wonderful rare video! Thanks for the post

[devgal211]

This is great! Never heard this song before! Never saw Roy play Ronnie's Combolin before either!

[fireflyxl5]

There is a clip on the same tape of 'Lads Among heather' Ronnie Brown says 'Please hum along, no-one hums like a Glasgow Audience'. I'll post it in the next couple of days:)

[luv4scotland]

I ne'er heard this either! Where'd ye get it, fireflyx? Is it on video to buy? Wonderful song! thanks for posting it!

[fireflyxl5]

Hello! It was on Scottish TV a few years ago as a Tribute Programme to Roy WIlliamson. it is quite rare, I've never seen it on CDs.  But glad you enjoyed it:)

[jesuskrizt]

Thankfully this is now on the 25th anniversary DVD which i got from the corries website and is a MUST for any fan! Great posting tho!

[Yippidiyippida]

@fireflyxl5 It has been released on the Corries Anniversery DVD which I think shows this whole concert. Available from the Corries Website if you like it

Hi guys, this is a new one on me and I thought I had heard all the Corries' output over the last 30 years. Brilliant!

[fireflyxl5]

There were two Tribute programmes to Roy Williamson when he died. There is the one which starts with Killiecrankie, Roy and Ron walking up through Pitlochry, that was released on video.

Then there was a second one this clip is from. It was put on about 3AM, so perhaps not many folk taped it!

[babbi43]

wonderful film!

[mandolinda6]

I love this one!,Thanks for posting it!

[killiekentman]

[fireflyxl5]
