The bawdy folk song 'Nine Auld Hoors' is a favourite at some folk sessions, but the few singers who know all the verses rarely if ever perform the whole song .

I knew 6 verses, and tried to find more online ... no joy other than discovering that songs roots go back a long way .. most likely of American origin. 

Anyway, I decided to what folk musos have been doin for decades/centuries, when forgetting parts o' songs, or adapting parts to suit .... and wrote 4 verses (it does need 10) 

 ... so here you go ... even if you've heard the song before, this will almost certainly be the first time you've heard a full 10 verse version .... 

I know of no other recording of this, the more familiar Scottish version, this may be the first .. who knows? 🙂

OK, cover all children's ears, and away we go 😉

Bressay Lullaby

A tune written, composed and rendered by Fred Wilkinson in memory of Dod Copland, to mark two years since his passing. Anyone who encountered Dod will understand that a precious moment shared with Dod would be worthy of a song or a tune ... well, here's mine, where's yours?  ..... forgive me ... I know .. it's stuck in your head, and you will never let it go. ;) 

For the Love o' Dod

Two versions of a new tune written by myself which I have dedicated to Folk Singer/Guitarist Ian F Benzie.
