... is for life, not just for Christmas.

 

I've been listening to her quite a bit lately. She's just wonderful and deserves her own thread.

And finally, the word "Baby" in this is one of my favourite noises in the history of music.

It was around this time about 10-12 years ago she was killed wasnt it?

[Redder Lurtz]

It was, she died in 2000 I think. I actually shed tears when I found out she'd died and not ashamed to admit it. A top, top professional, extremely talented too. Producers used to love working with her as her ability to get harmonics right first time on backing vocals was almost unique. "Kite" is one of my favourite albums.

[The KillingMoon]

She was quality and as was her old man who wrote some classics as you probably know

[The KillingMoon]

Nearly cried watching the videos. When anybody dies its tragic but for her kids to witness her dying like that is truly horrific

[General Dryness]

This is the one I always think of when I hear Kirsty MacColl. Talented girl.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Died far too young and under tragic and dodgy circumstances. She was a talent all right.

I didnt actually.

Who was he in the music world?

[razor]

You knew really didn't you??

Pete Seegar, John Martyn etc? English folk? A whole new world to investigate, Vlad!

[sparta7]

She was lovely and talented.

Fascinating. I genuinely didnt know of him at all in all honesty.

I'm not a music officianado,I just like and admire certain writers,singers and groups without knowing much about their history.

[razor]

I know you like your Dylan and S&G, Vlad - American folk is excellent.

 

But British folk: Ewan MacColl, Nick Drake, Pentangle etc, all worth a listen.

Old Ewan MacColl was also a respected playwright.

 

He went to the same school as me....a lot earlier than me before any witty fecker gets that jibe in

[VladimirIlyich]

Kirsty was a good looking girl despite her battle with the bulge,IMO,a real woman.

I wasnt really aware that these counted as Folk but I like a bit of their stuff too.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Oi! There's loads of folk threads for that sort of thing. This thread is Kirsty's.

[Teflon Don]

Need to spread before I can rep AoT for this thread. This 3CD collection is well worth getting hold of (even more so if you can find it cheaper than that).

 

Here's a couple more videos, anyway:

 

'There's A Guy Works Down The Chipshop Swears He's Elvis'

[YOUTUBE]Ccs6D1npv3I[/YOUTUBE]

 

'Walking Down Madison'

'In These Shoes?'

[Redder Lurtz]

Does anyone remember "Raw Sex", used to be on French & Saunders? This is ace. Rowland Rivron cracks me up, always has done. Top tune as well.

This will be one of my funeral songs.I might choose the Kinks version but they are both cracking versions.

Preferred the Tracy Ullman version.Sorry Kirsty.

[stringvest]

A gorgeous, funny, warm, gifted woman who would take no shit. Doesn't get any better than that.

Brutal way to go.

[Bjornebye]

Shocking way to go.

 

Easily the best Xmas song fairytale of New York. Heard it a couple of times this year but trying to.avoid it because I'm soppy over my ex still and we did karaoke in her parents kitchen too it last year. I need to sort my head out man.
