The Foundry Bar Band - Rolling Home

The Foundry Bar Band - Rolling Home

Product Information

The Foundry Bar in the old fishing town of Arbroath had long been a home to local fiddlers and accordionists when, in 1976, Jim Reid gathered together a few of the regular musicians and headed for the Kinross Festival where they entered and won the Ceilidh Band competition. So was born the Foundry Bar Band. Since then the band has played at concerts and ceilidhs, clubs and festivals, village hall dances and weddings throughout the country, and of course they never miss their favourite traditional music festivals at Keith and Auchtermuchty. Here the band come rolling home home to a quiet ceilidh in one of their regular haunts in the Angus countryside.The album opens with The Conundrum as part of a march medley. Other tracks include dance sets for Strip the Willow, the Dashing White Sergeant, Broun's Reel and the Gay Gordons. The album also includes the title song Rolling Home sung by Jim Reid, the old favourite All For Me Grog, an old traditional song Row Her in Ma Plaidie from Geordie and Aince Upon A Time from Christine

1. March Medley (2/4, 6/8 marches) THE CONUNDRUM (P. R. McLeod), BALLOCHYLE (J. McLellan)

2. Rolling Home (Song) Jim Reid A song that is widely known across the seven seas. In America the sailors are sometimes rolling home to California or to Boston, and in Europe the song is sometimes related to Hamburg. Call all hands to man the capstan, See the cable running clear, Heave around and with the wheel boys, For our homeland we will steer. Rolling home, rolling home, Rolling home across the sea, Rolling home to Caledonia, Rolling home dear land to thee. Fare ye well ye Spanish ladies, We must bid you all adieu, Happy times we've had together, Happy times we spent with you. Rolling home, rolling home &c. Round the horn one frosty morning, And our sails are filled with snow, You could hear the shellbacks calling, Heave around and let her go. Rolling home, rolling home &c. Now the wake we leave behind us, Seems to know the way we go, There's a hearty welcome waiting, In the land that we all know. Rolling home, rolling home, Rolling home across the sea, Rolling home to Caledonia, Rolling home dear land to thee. Words adapted and music arranged by Jim Reid Springthyme Music © 1988
