t ends with one last unaccompanied number, Iuventa, which is about the ship belonging to [Jugend Rettet, a Berlin non-governmental organisation dedicated to rescuing drowning people in the Mediterranean. To date she’s saved some 14,000 but was seized in 2017, the crew now awaiting trial accused of colluding with people smugglers. It’s a quietly rousing anthemic reminder that we are one world and one planet, echoing the refrain from the album opener as they declare “We’re not the clothes we wear/We’re not the scars we bear/We are the song we share”.

tiny notes
There’s one final real life story of an inspirational figure. Cooney was commissioned to write The Surgeon, a slow waltzing ballad with sweeping strings and sparse, plangent, piano, for the BBC’s 21st Century Folk project, in tribute to David Nott, a British surgeon who, putting his Christian principles into action, has volunteered to work in many war zones. This song is about a time in Aleppo where he found himself operating on “a man in distress/With a bullet hole wound torn in his chest” only to discover when six men “with knives and machine guns and uniforms black” burst in and watched as he worked, that he was saving the life of a young ISIS fighter. Asked later if he regretted saving him, his reply was no, “for life it is precious and life it is rare/And may my arms always be able to bear”.

Tim was one of 270 people killed in the Lockerbie bombing on 21st December 1988 when flight PanAm 103 broke up above the small Scottish town killing all those on board and 11 people on the ground. He was 24 and on his way to New York to spend Christmas with his girlfriend, Rose. Rachel said she didn’t see it as being a sad song but a love song and a song to keep the Lockerbie families' campaign for justice alive.

Trespassers is the last of the 17 songs written for our theatre show The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff. It’s the story of Johnny’s participation in acts of civil disobedience in the 1930s to advocate the Right to Roam – that ‘the right of walking was free’. The most famous trespass took place at Kinder Scout, Derbyshire in April 1932 and led, eventually, to the creation of the National Parks.

Fire Must Cease
Scritto, registrato e prodotto da Adriano Bono per la Adrian Good Records.
Questo nuovo singolo nasce su invito e a supporto della campagna di finanziamento avviata da I.A.F.G., International Artists For Gaza, un collettivo di artisti da tutto il mondo che sta pubblicando diverse compilation su Bandcamp, l'intero ricavato delle quali andrà a finanziare le attività dell'associazione Gaza Freestyle a supporto dei bambini e civili Palestinesi.
La musica, nella migliore tradizione del Reggae, diventa così strumento di solidarietà e di riflessione, oltre che un forte invito all'opinione pubblica affinché si faccia pressione sui governi occidentali sull'attuazione di un immediato "cessate il fuoco" e sull'abbandono della linea dell'appoggio incondizionato al Governo Israeliano.
Enjoy the Music!

The Band was a Canadian-American rock group, consisting of Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm. The members first met when they joined Ronnie Hawkins‘ Ontario-based group “The Hawks.” After separating, they were picked up by Bob Dylan for his 1965 US Tour, and then for the 1966 World Tour. Their relationship with Dylan helped the group move to New York, where they collaborated with him on music that would end up becoming some of the most sought-after bootlegs of the time; namely, the 1975-released project known as The Basement Tapes. They followed up these sessions with the release of their debut album, 1968’s Music From Big Pink.

Homeless Brother
Homeless Brother - Don Mc Lean - 1974
The song tells the story of a homeless man whom the protagonist calls his friend. The protagonist wonders where homeless people like his friend go, where they can escape the police and feel free. The lyrics describe the hardships of life on the streets, the envy of those with a roof over their heads, and the reality of poverty and the harshness of the rich. The chorus encourages one to live life to the fullest, despite the difficulties, and to cherish the friendship with the homeless brother.

Il wassailing è un'antica tradizione del folclore natalizio inglese che prende il nome dalla coppa del wassail ( "buona salute" ), contenente una bevanda calda a base di birra o sidro con spezie e mele tostate. La tradizione conosce due varianti, una consistente nella benedizione degli alberi da frutto e degli animali da stalla con la coppa del wassail, l'altra consistente nel girare per le case con la coppa del wassail intonando canti natalizi.

Fu una canzone in voga tra le truppe britanniche nella I Guerra Mondiale. Risalire agli autori e al cantante non è stato immediato. Proponiamo qualche nota biografica di quest’ultimo,Harry Fay, per contribuire alla sua memoria.
Henry Thomas Fahey (22 maggio 1878 – 4 settembre 1956) è stato un cantante e comico inglese che ha registrato canzoni popolari tra il 1900 e la fine degli anni '20. Nacque a Liverpool in una famiglia di origine irlandese. Si esibì sul palco nei music hall, prima di incidere dischi per tutti gli anni '10 e '20. Registrò per la Zonophone Records.

Harry Fay
Album: Oh! It's A Lovely War (Vol 4)
Fu una canzone in voga tra le truppe britanniche nella I Guerra Mondiale. Risalire agli autori e al cantante non è stato immediato. Proponiamo qualche nota biografica di quest’ultimo,Harry Fay, per contribuire alla sua memoria.
Henry Thomas Fahey (22 maggio 1878 – 4 settembre 1956) è stato un cantante e comico inglese che ha registrato canzoni popolari tra il 1900 e la fine degli anni '20. Nacque a Liverpool in una famiglia di origine irlandese. Si esibì sul palco nei music hall, prima di incidere dischi per tutti gli anni '10 e '20. Registrò per la Zonophone Records.

Hobo Blues - Cisco Houston
The Cisco Houston Collection 1944-61 - Released 2023
The words don't look like much when removed from Cisco's wonderful singing and playing. This is a splendid performance, worthy of being remastered and certainly among the very best of the Vanguard Years. The same song appears with Woody singing on Muleskinner Blues, Volume 2 of the Asch Recordings, with a different first verse but the same wonderful guitar. He must have liked this tune, for he plays it with a gusto that is a treat.

Cryderville Jail
Cryderville Jail ( Traditional )
As performed by Cisco Houston ( 1918 – 1961 )
Appears on: LP The Asch Recordings, 1939 to 1945 - Vol. 2
A fine performance that sounds as if it is based on intimate knowledge. The downtrodden get an even shorter end of the stick, with the corrupt lawmen taking advantage.

Pentangle: Light Flight
![Pentangle: Light Flight](img/upl/kaleid.webp)
[1969]
Bert Jansch - Danny Thompson - Jacqui McShee - John Renbourn - Terry Cox
Album / Albumi: Basket of Light
Ma Bert Jansch e John Renbourn si saranno fatti anche loro, verso il 1969, l’operazione alla cataratta…? Sì, perché questa canzone, piuttosto famosa, sembra descrivere alla perfezione ciò che “vedevo” mentre, due pomeriggi fa, l’oftalmologo mi stava demolendo il cristallino vecchio per mettercene uno nuovo e restituirmi alla luce. E’ stata una mezz’ora di visioni bellissime, con un caleidoscopio di colori mai visti (specialmente un turchese di una tonalità che non scorderò mai). E poi, sempre come dice la canzone, sono svanite le nebbie avvolgenti nelle quali ho vissuto gli ultimi mesi...insomma sì, sembrava scritta proprio per me anche se ho il sospetto, neanche tanto vago, che i bravi Pentangle non stessero descrivendo un’operazione di cataratta oculare, ma un bel viaggetto...
