"We are really lucky to be here, we have to remember all of this". Definitely a night to remember, thanks chaps  Sheebeg and Sheemore (however spelled  ) was superb. I just love that tune, and it was almost worth the journey for that alone. As for the rest of it - just great. I'm still smiling

But the very best was when we heard the first notes of SLOTH.. with both RT and Swarb singing... That was a moment to savour.. well quite a few minutes really... Is Swarb singing again? That's great if so! Sounds like a super gig. |

Sorry to cause mild controversy, I only used Si Bheag Si Mhor cos that's how I remember it being spelled on Smiddyburn and one of Planxty's records. Mind you I've seen it spelled Sheebeg Sheemore (as Swarb does), Si Beag Si Mor, and lots of others. Then we move from Irish to Scottish Gaelic......
Some say it's Little Fairy, Big Fairy, some Small Fairy Hill, Large Fairy Hill, some Little Hill, Big Hill. ...... but it's definitely by Turlough O'Carolan, or Toirdhealbhach O'Cearbhallain, or Carolan.
All I can say is that anybody who wrote a tune called Planxty Fanny Power has my emphatic vote. Try shouting THAT out as a request!

Yes, Simmo & His friends were there - I spent 20 minutes chatting to them, and Simmo stood behind me while I was taking some photos. The official line was that we could shoot 6 numbers - the three together & three of RT solo. Whether Simmo continured after that, I know not. |

No controversy It was an oblique comment on the different ways of spelling it  , poking fun at my own pedantry about spelling  |

Blimey what a night! Also, chatted to Simmo before the gig, but at that point didn't know who he was. Then I spotted him filming and thought "I wonder......?" Cheers for the great clips Simmo. Great to catch up with Clive and Tracey, Delfini, Gareth and Jen, Chris Bates and Zoe. Didn't spot EdtheFolkie, but then I've not met him.  A charming venue in lovely surroundings. Both Swarb and RT looked to be having a great time and the music was simply wonderful, of course. Another song I recall from RTs setlist was Hope you Like the New Me (if indeed that is what it is called....) |
