Tara - Rigs og the Time video free download

Chris Siddall

It's origins lie Napoleonic era (late 18th-early 19th century). A combination of bad harvests, and the war in europe between france and everybody else. Basically lead to food prices rising dramatically, hence the singers complaint. And because there was a lot of food being sent to the army and navy, what was left for sale to the public wasn't that great in terms of quality either. For those looking it up for the tune and words, it's listed as Roud 876.

posted this on my FB page to share the music and my Uncle shared this bit of info with me" David Halverson the foto was taken in Edinborough, Scotland summer 1973 at the theater festival where Tara was the stage live band for one of Brendan Behan's plays. This wonderful tree seemed to pull us towards it, and as they started to play the kids just showed up dancing and I took the picture." I knew he had played with them but didn't know about the photo story
