A version of the Bluebeard story. Hauntingly beautiful. One of my favourite ballad performances of all time.

I discovered an exciting recording of Matty Groves (Child 81) from Newfoundland, Canada. An old English ballad with a fine tune

People may know the song from British folk-rock band Fairport Convention

A snippet of my song “Fortune’s Fool” from Sunday’s performance of my folk-rock opera, The Ballad of Tam Lin. #tamlin #singersongwriter #songwriter #livemusic #thomastherhymer #ballads #childballad #originalmusic #salem #salemma 🥀🍀♥️
It's me singing snippets of English Child Ballads. My friend Spring said it sounds nice and I should share it online, so I did.
I was never a great singer and I'm also pretty shy, but I'm good at memorising songs and tunes. 🦊
