Probably one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard. The melody is so enchanting, its pure magic. Roy and Ronnie will never be forgotten. True bards and noble Scots men they will be forever.
Rossmcl177, I think this was the performance I was privileged to see at Edinburgh's Usher Hall,1969/70.Perfect mix of superb musicianship and audience held in the palms of their 4 talented hands. Sigh!
+craig anderson Yes you're right:on second thoughts, the Usher Hall concert was when they wore scarlet shirts:by 1972 I was back in England.Whenever, still a great performance,eh?
Trolls, stop posting thumbs down just for "fun." Seems to be a sport on Corries' and North Sea Gas videos. Why? Because they are so good you can't stand it?
well i hope you like this kind of music because the young guy, Roy was uncle and i am named after him. and i carry on his tallent, in his home town of forres
Really?? You should be proud of that... I'm Albanian and I think that your uncle was one of the greatest singers that ever existed!!!! ALBA GU BRATH!!!!!!!!
This was them in their absolute hey-day. Early-mid 70s I'd guess? They were still good in the 1980s but theyd lost something by then I think. They were just great in this period though.
does anybody know if there is somone comparable with the Corries nowadays? were they so unique? people (not only Scots) should sing such songs, for reminding that there are other things about life than only money and sex
@Scottishindependance Though I don't entirely disagree with your comment (though I think James Taylor is a better singer), the fact that you can't spell independence just shows the endless stupidity behind the Scottish independence movement.
