A Murder ballad. A true event that occurred in Victorian England in 1867. A young child was brutally murdered and mutilated. An extremely gruesome event. You may be aware of the term ‘Sweet Fanny Adam’s’ or ‘Sweet FA’ In 1869, in rather a macabre fashion, it referred to a cheap type of convenience food distributed to the sailors, who stated that the butchered awful contents must surely be Sweet...

New upbeat version of this original song. Drums created by Jade Starr, who also re-mixed, mastered, produced and gave so much more. This song is a tribute to our years living in South Africa and the many, so fond and magical memories of that earlier time in our lives

Added bass in this re-mix. Mastered by Jade Starr. Wrote this song for a virtual open mic during Covid lockdown. The theme was “Secrets”. As I wrote this one, it seemed to go down the path of the loss of memory and of self. I dedicate this to our friend and band member of the ‘70s, David who is lost in the later stage of Alzheimer’s . A brilliant musician and the kindest person you could know

Very well done. Love the vocals. Excellent production
Thank you Frank. After taking advice from Jade, there was a little fixing of the mix, so hopefully ok now❤️
What a beautiful rendition of a lovely old song. The layering of vocals to make a choir is magnificent.
Much love Scott, thank you and Merry Christmas❤️
Im.sure the past would thank you for bringing their Carol back to life. I know I do. It has me thinking, I hope someone does that in the future for these new Christmas songs coming out of the musicians I've met in this community with new carols and songs of Christmas. I hope someone is saving them somewhere to be found.
@@folkenbluzer thank you Al. Yes that would be a fine thing for sure❤️

Thank you a bunch folkpunk❤
The orchestration of this piece is beautiful- the balance of the whistle, the guitars, bass, and voices. Your voices work magically together 🌹
Thank you @roseonajacket for taking the time to listen to our songs❤
excellent. 🌹
Thank you Viv❤️
Lovely song! Beautiful singing from Barrie. 🌹
Thank you Viv. He needs encouragement😎❤️
Heartbreakingly beautiful. 🕯️ a candle for all those bright and beautiful children lost 🕯️❤ the warmth of the whistle- a sweet, distant lullaby.
@@VivSparro44 Thank you Viv. This song always makes me teary. I was living in Llandovery, about 10 miles away from where this disaster occurred. About 4 years ago, I was watching one of the episodes of “The Crown” which was a poignant reminder. I was so upset that I had to write this song
🫶 one of my favorites
❤
I find myself, upon first listen, thoroughly entranced by the beauty of Jo's voice. With each additional listen, I uncover the intricate layers of production woven into the song, revealing even more depth and richness-like the delicate fingerpicking of the guitar and the whistles drifting in counterpoint.🌹 🫶 ♫₊˚🌹. ✩★ ˎˊ˗♡🌹
Your kind comments mean a lot to us. Thank you so very much@roseonajacket❤
Such a beautiful energy in this performance! The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a place you hold dear, with the love and reverence you have for it woven into every note, sharing that special connection with us lucky listeners. 🫶🌹🎶
Thank you so much. Our love of South Africa is a visceral and profound thing, as are the many friends past and present that are dear to our hearts
Thank you Roseonajacket (Rose?) I think Jo said it all, a precious time in our lives. Glad you liked the song, Jade did a great job of producing and mastering, she really is a Starr.
The melody spins like a dream, weaving the tale of Annabelle Lee. Such a beautiful, slightly strange love story. :-) I’ve loved this song since I first heard it as a child-I even named my cat Annabelle. :-) Beautiful version 🌹🎶🫶
Thank you so much. Been a favourite of mine too❤️
Hauntingly beautiful. Your lyrics capture the eerie mist hanging over the bridge you sing and speak of, as if it exists in both dreams and shadows. 🌹🎶🫶
Thank you for the kind words @roseonajacket❤️
You captured a beautiful mysteriousness 🫶 ♫₊˚. ✩★ ˎˊ˗♡₊˚ ・₊ ♪ ✧
Thank you so much Viv❤️
“Stars can be picked out of the sky”. Beautiful. There is such a gentle power in the vocal delivery. Your lyrics paint vividly beautiful images of the place you sing of ❤
Thank you Viv, it was a lovely time in our lives, sometimes down to our last cent and others comfortable ( money wise) but always happy. Glad you liked it.
Gorgeous performance of this beautiful, classic “songpoem”🎶💕🌹
Thankyou so much Viv
This is like a thick warm blanket. Love the sound that you guys make together! ❤
Thanks Jude, appreciate the kind words
I really like this! Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much Tremor Bear❤️
Fascinating story and a wonderful recording. Really nice to hear a happy song from you two.
Thank you Scott. Not too many trad folk songs have happy endings. It is an expectation that our songs will end in misfortune 😂❤️
Wonderful song and story line. Amazing video and animations. Well done to both of you :)
Thank you so much @martycli9299❤
It truly is amazing how you both bring out such modern and beautiful sound from music that spans over 2 centuries. Another spectacular performance, recording and production.
Thank you so much Frank. But with traditional folk not forgetting that the words are already there for one’s “take” on the song.❤️
Thank you Frank, really appreciate the kind words and support you give us.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Matt
