Cousin Jack: Cornish mining song

This is a folk song from Cornwall, not England, and I don't want to hear that fact disputed. There's no such thing as 'Cornwall in England. It's Cornwall near England.

Some kid smuggled a phone into our ordition for the Sydney West Music Education Week Festival, and took this video.

If i'm honest, as I usually am, this is almost not worth putting here, but until Andrew and I make some new videos, this will have to do.

Note to Andrew: let's get together and record some more soon, ok?

Oh, and here's a link to a much better version of the song, though not a video and not with Andrew on guitar.

and you know what? you're a tosser who has no idea what he's talking about. Cornwall, like Wales and Scotland has every right to be considered a duchy. I changed the word in the song because nothing else would fit.

bugger off why don't you.

If england wasnt such a s***hole maybe cornwall wouldnt mind being associated with us. I dont blame them. Its beautiful and we're gonna wreck it sooner or later. They shouldnt let people move there. Im on their side.

Last time I checked Cornwall was a county.... you know, in England? Not a country. Actually let's just check.... yes, yes it's a county. Oh and look, sill a county. And again, still a county. Yes, definitely a county. I applaud your optimism though! Maybe one night, as if by magic, it will take us all by surprise and just become a country, all by itself. Actually, no. No it won't. It's a county.

@2206411411 I have lived in Cornwall for 4 years and at no point have I ever heard a single person speak anything in Cornish... I know the language exists, but the only way you ever see any evidence is from the road signs

I'm as annoyed as the uploader seems to be on the Cornwall issue. It was granted the right to an independent parliament (Henry VI?), it has its own language, it is indeed a Duchy, it has its own unique traditions (such as the Wreckers and the Moonrakers). Whatever your opinion, I feel the place has earned respect and dignity at the very least, along with all who hail from it.

Wow, man. The video quality is poor, of course, but the music sounds awesome. My family is from Cornwall (not England), and I'd love to see ya make a better recording of Cousin Jack.
