ROGUE'S GALLERY - Mingulay Boat Song video free download

Norman Nippy

I did not know about this album, but I recognised Richard Thompson's voice immediately. Great version of "Mingulay" but the McCalmans version is, for me, the best. The song is about fisherman coming home, seeing land in the distance, their loved ones waiting at the jetty; it's a joyous homecoming song, yet often sung as a dirge, which it definitely is not- no-one dies! Sir Hugh Roberton, who wrote the song, also wrote Westering Home, another homecoming classic, yet not as popular in the folk world at the moment. Love. Pete.

all at once so very sad and yet so peaceful and soothing...this is ear candy to me.

This is so very beautiful. A touching longing for the home I so dearly miss. My home is where my heart is. I love and miss you V!
