Kurzer Ausschnitt vom 18. Festival des politischen Liedes (14.-21. Februar 1988) mit einem Auftritt von The Sands Family auf der Liederbühne (Berlin). Die Komposition ist von Tommy Sands. Lied ist nicht komplett, aber froh überhaupt Filmmaterial davon sehen zu können.
The Sands Family - das sind: Tommy Sands, Ben Sands, Anne Sands & Colum Sands.
My song for you this evening is not to make you sad,
Nor for adding to the sorrows of this troubled northern land.
But lately I was thinking and it just won't leave my mind
To tell you of two friends one time who were both good friends of mine.
Alan Bell from Benagh, he lived just across the fields,
A great man for the music, and the dancing and the reels
O'Malley came from South Armagh, to court young Alice fair,
And we'd often meet on the Ryan Road, and the laughter filled the air.
There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of the people
Ran together
So my song for you this evening is not to make you sad,
Nor for adding to the sorrows of this troubled northern land.
But lately I was thinking and it just won't leave my mind
To tell you of two friends one time who were both good friends of mine.
I don't know where the moral is or this song should end,
But I wonder how many wars are fought between good friends.
And those who give the orders are not the ones to die.
It's Bell - and O'Malley - and the likes of you and I.
There were roses, roses
There were roses
And the tears of the people
Ran together

Von Scarlet O’ ist gerade bekanntgeworden, es gibt 2022 Ost-Konzerte (2 x SINNESWANDEL + 1 x Theater am Rand) dazu kommt die SANDS FAMILY zu PFINGSTEN angeflogen!
(Es gibt hier auch so zu finden => Goethes Song Colum Sands and Scarlet O‘ )
Cool - das Folk-Archiv schaut sich derweil in 2 Wochen die Sands Family in Bietigheim-Bissingen an - und filmt ein wenig für diesen Kanal! 🙂
Ja, unbedingt!
Sie waren öfter in der DDR oder auch länger, so mein Eindruck. .
Amiga beglückte uns ja mit zwei LPn, wenn mich die Erinnerung nicht täuscht.
Auch der Schotte Dick Gaughan war in der 80ern präsent und ich konnte eine LP ergattern, was gelegentlich schwierig war. Wahrscheinlich gaben die Stückzahlen nicht mehr her und da war noch die Unsitte, dass einige alles kauften, was nach Lizenzplatte aussah, ohne je etwas vom Künstler gehört zu haben.
Ja richtig - die Sands haben mehrere LPs veröffentlicht, von denen der Großteil gar nicht auf CD derzeit erhältlich ist - was schade ist, denn die Platten lohnen sich!
Ich frage mich ja des öfteren, wie es wohl Dick Gaughan geht. Er kann ja seit seinem Schlaganfall vor einigen Jahren nicht mehr auftreten. Beim Klimagipfel in Glasgow hat er mir sehr gefehlt.
Gute Version, aber Robbie O‘Connell (Cousin der Fureys) singt es am besten (meine Meinung jedenfalls)
