Don't get acoustic and folk confused! *ducks for cover*

Haha, s'what they call themselves. And to be fair comedy folk is a bit different form your normal folky lol. Though this of course is another excellent oppurtunity for me to plug my mate Frank, check out Nashville Tenessee, awesome song.

Nowt... if you can do it. I struggle with the Mwng LP enough, let alone leaning Irish Celtic, Cornish Celtic and Scots Celtic as well!

Heulog oedd ein oariad ni, Heulog tan ddaeth glaw yn lliff, Ysbeidiau heulog!

You need a native to transcribe it, and then you can rewrite it phonetically. Works for me. That said, I haven't actually learnt the language, so it's just a list of vowel sounds, like singing phone numbers. Thankfully the new album's in English

All brilliant. I also love how this thread has turned into two simultaneous conversations, one about Irish folk music, and one about New Zealand folk music, specifically "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo a cappella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo"

All seems a bit schoolboy chuckle-behind-the-hand bog humour to me. Not sure what's brilliant about it? Must just be me.

There's a charm in the delivery though TD.

In fact there's some very dry, very very funny stuff they come up with. Don't take that in isolation!

I like 'em acoustic. The studio versions, not so much.

Yeah alot of the live songs are much better (humans are dead, jenny, hiphopopottamus vs rhymeoceros, business time etc)...I just think that particular one works really well.

I saw the live show on the box before I saw the series and it blew my brains out! The series then kicked off and the songs were still kinda cool, but not a patch on the live versions I'd heard. Sadly, the live shows don't feature the brilliant Murray.

Anyone been watching the new series? Just watched the fourth episode now. Features some classic Murrayisms. Probably the best in the new series.

I'm currently listening to a collection of Joe Meek productions! Brilliant!

(See that? Keeping this thread on-track, while secretly, I'm going to reply to Jimbo. Haven't seen any of it yet, but eagerly await!)

The songs were terrible in this ep but the dialogue more than made up for it

Ah, I see it now. It's a re-make of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

Gee, I do miss Morecambe and Wise and the Two Ronnies.

mofgimmers · Post by **mofgimmers** » Tue Feb 10, 2009 12:09 am

Ah! Pete and Dud! Now, they made some great tunes!

For a start TD, what's so wrong about chuckle behind the hand school boy humour

?

But seriously, I can see why those comments might not seem so funny out of context, but in the song they are brilliant. I haven't seen any of the new series yet, but i cannot wait to!

Twould not do for us all to be the same Prufrock. Life would be very dull indeed. My schoolboy days are a very, very long time ago. Humour? Rupert Rigsby for ever.
