Dancing and a performance of the Firle Mumming Play THE HARTLEY MORRIS MEN HAVE TWO CDS AVAILABLE. THE HARTLEY MORRIS SINGERS TAPE The Hartley Morris Singers’ on/off affair with a local recording studio finally came to fruition in 1991 when all the singers managed to be in one place at the same time. The result was a 17-track tape, which is now sold out and a collector's item. However it has now been re-released as a CD which costs £5 plus £1p+p. For details email bagman@hartleymorrismen.org.uk The tape CD track listing is, 1 Rose of Allandale, - 2 Can't you line 'em (H.Ledbeter), - 3 Wandering Minstrel/Cliffs of Moher, - 4 Santlanna, - 5 Buttercup Joe, - 6 The Kerry Recruit, - 7 Paddy Lay Back, - 8 Union Miner, - 9 Little Eyes, - 10 The Farmer's Toast, -11 Bell Ringing Song, - 12 Down where the drunkards roll (R.

Tawney), SING UP THE SUN CD To celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2002, we bit the bullet and used money earned by the singers to finance a studio recording and a commercial pressing of our efforts. The ‘Sing Up The Sun’ CD costs £10 plus £1p+p, for details email bagman@hartleymorrismen.org.uk The songs are drawn from old and new and any style we enjoy. It would be impossible to comment on all the singers in Hartley. But they produce a fantastic atmosphere, which comes from a love of the songs and a need to please their audience. The ‘Sing Up The Sun’ CD track listing is, Postman's Knock, - 2. British Whalermen, - 3. Down Below, - 4. I Can Hew, - 5. Knees Up Mother Brown, - 6. Down Boys Down, - 7. Bring a Little Water, Sylvie, - 8. Chain around my Ankle, - 9. Thyme, - 10. Wheel Your Perambulator, - 11. Little Pot Stove, - 12. Single Girls, - 13. Leaving of Liverpool, - 14. Lavender's Blue, - 15. Newlyn Town, - 16. Two Brethren, - 17. Sir Sidney Smith's March - 18. Poor Old Horse, - 19. The Old Pubs, - 20. Buffalo Skinners, - 21. Rosie, - 22. Bold Princess Royal Let us hope that now singing has become such an integral part of the Club's routine, future generations of Hartley members will keep up the tradition, which effectively rounds off a good evening's entertainment and is much enjoyed by dancers and audience alike. | |||||
