@@barnyification I don’t post so many videos these days as most my musical efforts are directed elsewhere but thanks for dropping by and glad you enjoyed what you found there 😊

@@barnyification Agree with you by and large , think we have a great culture , wouldn’t personally use the term superior as I think the world is full of other equally great cultures .Bit of an old hippy myself , peace and love and kindness to everyone ✌️( within reason haha )

I know Til I’m so sorry.. I can only apologize… :0) X

Hold hard, I'm a Devonian as Devonian as a Devon Dumpling. We used to get our clotted cream from a farm up on Dartmoor . I cut my scone in half , applied butter then Jam then cream mmmmm I'm getting like a Pavlov;s Dog! what am I like!

@@lyndseykramer5423 Why? Don’t you think Brenda knows the difference? I met Brenda when I worked in Cornwall many years ago. She has a lovely voice, but you prefer to make a fuss about a picture of scones. I agree with you about that, cream on top, but why spoil a good song?

Hello Xanderl, yes she has a wonderful voice, hope you make it to Cornwall and have a lovely time..

Hello Anthony I will look out for the songs you mentioned, I discovered Brenda Wooton by accident. in the late 80s I was sitting up in the wee small hours surfing the short wave radio stations on my new radio cassette player when through the phased short wave hiss of some foreign station came this lovely tune. I managed to record on to cassette the second half of the tune along with the French announcers comments. As I don't speak French all I could understand was the name which sounded to me like Beryl Wood ford! Then began a 20 year investigation to discover who it was singing. I went to several record shops but I was asking for “Cornwall the land I love” by “Beryl Wood ford”. I gave up for years, then the internet was developed! Great I thought and for several more years I typed in several versions of the name Beryl Wood ford but with no luck. A couple of years ago I typed in “Beryl Wood ford” “Cornwall the Land I love” and Google asked me “ did you mean Brenda wootton” “Cornwall the land I love”!!!! I was so happy!! I immediately ordered her cds on line which I really enjoy. She is not very well known shes like a lovely secret. I still have the old cassette with half this song. thank you for your post Anthony, take care "the obscure Cornish folk pub circuit" sounds lovely.

barnyification Hi there - and thanks for comments. Glad you eventually found the lady. Aye, we all too few faithful followed her from pub to club - she sang in odd remote places afore she were better known, here n' there and not always well advertised... Us trying to find peculiar little Cornish villages on stormy winter nights... Once their arrangements all went pearshaped and she lost her guitarist for that evening. She were going to sing unaccompanied but unfortunately I stood in - after a _very_ poor fashion - at the typically half-demolished pub piano. She and the tiny audience put up with me and after, she were kind enough to say I were "OK". A lively lady, real kind and friendly and always talkative over a pint - or three - afterwards, and that laugh! Rich and full and not entirely clean and utterly infectious. Later on at such as the Toubadour, late lamented Bristol folk club. Like as not with John the Fish (John Langford). That unique voice, a full expression of her personality - singing in English or Cornish or Breton and once or twice old Irish Erse - was so clear, and intimate and perfect for her songs. Recon I fell in love with her - well, I were very young and anyway she were married by then I think; seem to recall that she were born Ellery. My favourite were "Sweet Tamar" (river what closes off Cornwall). Lodges in the soul, that one, likewise the Cornish lover's morning song. She had a memorable TV series late Thursday evenings on HTV but my tapes I lost in the flood a few summers ago. We cried buckets when she died - R.I.P., sweet Brenda. Peace n' love, man - Anthony n' Rufus.

Anthony Bullock wow that's cool you actually gigged with the woman. don't know that much about folk listened to nick drake for years and the last few years been buying random folk compilations but enjoying discovering all this lovely music take care

Anthony Bullock I grew up with her music in Cornwall. What a lovely experience you had.

Cool tune cheers to your uncle xx

Like the sound of thunder and lightning.. I will try that 😋

Brenda was born in London but brought up in Newlyn, Cornwall. Definitely not Devon.

😉

When I made then posted the slide show for this lovely song The artist Brenda Wootton had no profile on KZfaq. Maybe you as the owners of the original recordings could consider promoting Brenda Wootton the artist yourselves…. just a thought…

It's only a scone Dave... snap out of it... 🤟😎

+Mike Lyndsey yeah jam on top thats the way we roll in Cornwall hombre...

Yes, bless your English heart, if you are English. The Cornish have the jam first, so there is more room for the cream.

Us Cornish have it however

Proper Cornish have cream on top (of bread splits, not scones) - my granny used to say ' them Devonshire's are ashamed a their cream, so they do cover it over with jam' Quite!
