Maddy Prior (with June Tabor) - Doffing Mistress скачать видео бесплатно

Doffers were "mostly girls", says Maddy in this interview. I often hear or read the assumption that they were all girls and that this is a song purely about women's work.Sorry, but it's not true. Doffers could be both boys and girls, but in fact, more often boys than girls, look it up in the industrial history of the time.Anyway, nicely sung, but for me with too much instrumentation, This is a simple and sweet song that can get swamped by all the instrumental flummery.

WHAT! This a folk song and well deserving of commentary, giving us the information to understand the song.

Instead of the commentary at the beginning of the video I wish we could hear the beginning of the song.

I hope we have all had at least one Elsie Thompson in our lives! What a happy song! And what amazing artists? Is the other young woman singing Maddy's daughter?
