Arrrr, here be Pirates...
"Barrett's Privateers" live at The
Atlantic Trap And Gill
Here is a clip from the album track,
recorded live at The Trap in Feb. 2005, with Bruce (now retired) on lead
vocals. Roger now sings this song, and it really cooks. We have to fend
off requests for this number from the moment we start tuning up. This cut
from Overserved gives the best idea of the energy and crowd
reaction we generate when we hit the stage. Many thanks to Ariel Rogers
for permission to release this Canadian classic.
"Saturday
On The Strand (Teaser)"
We've recorded what's called a
'Teaser', which is a short bit of music that is representative of the
longer pieces we do. This one is a very small part of our 'Saturday On
The Strand Medley'.
The full medley starts out with 'I'se
The B'ye' (an East Coast classic), then bounces into one of Roger's
originals, Saturday On The Strand, followed by some fiddlin' on Irish
Washerwoman, Swallowtail Reel , then back into Irish Washerwoman for the
end.
Whew! It was work just typing it. It's
a big chunk of work to play it, but it is often our final song, and we
are always ready to go for more. The energy of this medley played live is
amazing. (We actually got in trouble at one venue because of the people
on the tables.)
The lyrics to "Saturday On The
Strand" are a bit of a who's who of our friends in the Vancouver celtic
scene. It's always fun to see people notice themselves in the song.
