Yee Haw!!!!

The Tennessee Ernie Ford version of "Sixteen Tons" is one of my favourite songs of all time. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed those tunes @happyrat1

As to what I've been listening to recently... well, it's a little different. I've been totally engrossed in The Witcher 3, and I was playing it a lot over the weekend. For those who don't know, it's set in a mythical land that kinda resembles medieval Europe but with magic and monsters. The music is surprisingly catchy! Ian loves this type of music, which I find hilarious

It also led us to look into hurdy gurdys, and they're quite interesting:

Told you it was different!

I've always had a soft spot for ye olde English Folk and Medieval music.

Here's a few of those bands I've collected over the years.

The hurdy gurgy @Becky is amazing. It would take the cake for two other threads on this forum. 1. Weird and wonderful 2. The most difficult to play.
The sound is unique and mystical. I like it.
The Witcher tunes are somewhat mystical too. Different indeed and is what makes them appealing.

@happyrat1 . . Two of those folk groups have been associated with jethro tull over the years so I am very familiar with them (Fairport and steeleye). The others I don't know so well.
Quite refreshing and a nice change from the common everyday pop.

So . .
We all know this tune . .

One person band. Who needs drums?

 

[happyrat1]

Great cover.

I would HATE to have to tune one of those things though

[happyrat1]

NO STRINGS!!!

Love the Eurythmics cover! Who would have thought hurdy gurdys could be so popular?!

That 'Midigurdy' is hilarious! I think I prefer the old fashioned one Ian has both a 3D printer and a laser cutter so he has joked about making one...

 

[happyrat1]

Some PMJ for the holiday weekend...

Gary

 

[Rayblewit]

Bad at Love is sensational!
Wow! Great vocal by the girl with the tattoos up her arm.
Why is there smashed stuff all ovet the floor . Looks like porcelain heads.
Ray

 

[happyrat1]

The stuff on the floor looks like styrofoam packing peanuts to me.

Maybe they didn't clean up after they unpacked the mannequin?

[Becky]

PMJ have been on great form recently!

Been listening to Pomplamoose albums via Deezer recently, I enjoyed their cover of Uptown Funk

 

[happyrat1]

I have seen Steeleye Span many, many times over the years, they were awesome.

The guy who plays fiddle is called Peter Knight who is one of if not the best in the world.

He now tours as Peter Knights Gigspanner and their latest album is called The Wife of Urban Law, do check them out.

If you can do check out BBC website and Radio Two where on Wednesday evening at 19:00 for an hour there is a folk show presented by Mark Radcliffe, its an excellent show.

If you like Pentangle check out the music of Enya.

I've been listening to the album Bat Out Of Hell recently... It's a few years before my time, and I have to confess I hadn't listened to it before (the album that is, I knew the title song). It's fantastic

 

[Becky]

Bit of Fat Boy Slim today because it's nearly Friday

Christopher Walken sure has some moves!
