Lord Franklin

This is Mick Hanly's interpretation of a much loved traditional ballad" Lord Franklin". Mick is joined here by his friend and former colleague from the Bothy Band Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill. Mick's recording of Franklin is timely as the Canadian government announced this month that one of Franklin's ships had been finally located. The ill fated voyage left England in 1845 and Franklin and his crew of 128 men were all lost. In 1848, pressed by Lady Franklin. the British government sent a search for the ships and crew.

Beautiful version Mick and Tríona, thinking of Michael Ó Domhnaill Rip. Thanks Mick for a fantastic night last Wednesday in Ballyfermot Music College 🎶😷

You can really see and feel the emotion in Triona's beautiful harmonising, a brave lady and such a beautiful tribute too to her dear brother Michael.

Dylan, "borrowed" this song for his Bob Dylans dream and did it justice.

[@david-pb4bi]

He certainly did, probably made it his own in my opinion anyway.

[@LaCaganera]

Fair play to you.

[@yewtoob]

Great, ancient.

[@mcmanustony]

[@grahamdonachie6298]

Superb......and I think he may be playing on a Taylor guitar...

[@stringsman12345]

💗💗💗💗💗

[@julesbexhill9537]

great

[@DjNikGnashers]

I like this. Not as much as Pentangle's version, but still, this is nice. The camera does my eyes in though, it keeps distorting the image like one of those mirrors at the fair.

[@WolffBachner]

I'm not trying to be a jerk, as I love this song, but Franklin was not a Lord. He was Rear-Admiral Sir John Franklin. Tennyson's epitaph for Franklin: "Not here! The white north hath thy bones and thou Heroic sailor soul Art passing on thine happier voyage now Toward no earthly pole"

[@M4R1N4]

Interesting! And I did not know Tennyson wrote his epitaph. Thanks for sharing the info.

[@thenumbah1birdman]

Captain at the time he set off on his fateful mission-posthumously peomoted to rear admiral.

Having taught Inuit in the Arctic… I always get upset when I hear people using the word Eskimo. I recommend not using it above the North American 49th parallel… and never above the 60th.
