framheim Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago there was a folk thread on here, i may even have started it, and moderator dave or chris posted a link to a site that had heaps of trad songs on it with the tunes and everything. anyone know what it was or a similar site which has ballads with a recording of the vocal melody?

It's still all there, but you have to find it from within the new site to get the right address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 how were the staves? i'm not sold on them yet. rachel sermanni is awesome.I was introduced to The Staves by accident at Loopallu last year. Was just walking past the main tent when they lured me in Siren-like, and I was stunned. Seriously good live, just perfect harmonies and quite charming. One of those unintentional live experiences when you just have to find out who the hell they are. The album came out a few months ago, it's brilliant - some lovely lovely songs, although tbh can be a bit much to listen to the whole thing at once - leaves you craving something fast and noisy.

MattJimF Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 The staves were great, one of the supports was the lake poets, a guy from Sunderland who does some good music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
