Levellers Acoustic, Lowlands of Holland, Beautiful Days '07

[Chiliclub]

They played this at BD 2010 this weekend (just gone).

Must admit it was goosebump time again.

@Chiliclub Unfortunately i had to sell my tickets this year, first BD's i missed since the first one, glad it brought back good memories though :o)

[Chiliclub]

@festivalspy You missed a special one this year. Dreadzone were on just before The Levellers and the rain bucketed it down from about 7pm until the fireworks. Did I car ? Not a Jot......

And Friday night opening the main stage - Only Hobo Jones and the Dogs - Beautiful Days it was.........

[3tangle3]

Real folk of British Isles, none of this twee identiless identikit muck churned out :)

[zorbonauthor]

the levellers are the best band in the world, bring on more beutiful days!!!

[Cusheydoo]

English Crusties sing a 17th Century Scottish Mercenary song - ach weel no a bad effort lads, for a bunch of tax/soap dodgin' sassenach pacifists.

[JackyRowe]

hey, is sassenach gaelic? coz it sounds a little like the welsh for english, whic is Saesneg!

[Cusheydoo]

Aye!

[JackyRowe]

i thought as much!!

[Stumblestrum]

@Cusheydoo Don't know if it's true but a Highlander once told me it was originally the term the Highlanders used for lowland Scots. Later it got transferred to meaning us tax/soap dodging pacifist English. Great song whatever.

[Bryanrobsonsliver]

@Cusheydoo "Ooooh look at me, I'm all Jockanese and that" You make me sick.

[Cusheydoo]

@Bryanrobsonsliver

Good! You wanker.

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@Cusheydoo

17th century Royal Navy dumass!

[Cusheydoo]

@LordGeorgeRodney Before slinging insults learn to spell. Arse.

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@Cusheydoo

Sorry my mistake... dumbass

My mistake again it was an English and Scots mercenary song you are correct ... used to fight the Spanish & supporting lowlanders (today Catholic Belgians) in the Dutch revolt

But was used by Royal Navy and during the disease ridden Walcharen campaign

[freddyflaps]

a great stomp!!

[ondrak2]

actually its not good quality at all.. besides i was looking for mp3.

[festivalspy]

[plattform5163]

Great music! Thanks for sharing!

[ondrak2]

i cant find this song in good quality :-(

:'(

[ondrak2]

i mean.. by levellers

[Taraanddave69]

I have always liked the Levellers and seen them from the 80's onwards but this isnt a good version in my eyes...listen to Natalie Merchant and The Chieftains version if you wamt goosebumps!!!

[HullBloke1313]

If it's not a good version "in your eyes" try closing them and using your ears instead ;)

[festivalspy]

Touché!!!

[Teebeekee]

the best I've ever heard:)

[yorkiepunk]

this song hasnt been ruined, you carnt ruin a song

[Johnners1878]

In 1990 I loved the Levellers. This is a great song ruined.

[AABINVESTIGATIONS]
