Black is the Colour - FOS Brothers

This is an old song probably dating to the 18th century. The lyrics were first recorded in around 1916 and believed to be out of the Appalacian Mountains, although it is so fully engrained in the folk tradition that many believe it to be out of Scotland as attibuted by the verse "I'll go to the Clyde" which is a river that runs through Glasgow.
We have arranged it to a slightly different tune to the trad one
Recorded at Stainsby Festival, UK 19th July 2008
Sound Engineer - John Ramsey(EFX)
Sound Production - Steve Hume
Video Production - Mark Matthews (40 watt films)
