Singing with Pete from the Boscastle Buoys.

It's brilliant that this style of Cornish Male Voice Choir is being given a spotlight. Let's hope they can keep these songs going for future generations to enjoy. Such a heartwarming sound. Can't wait to watch it!!! Not just because I'm Cornish!

[@zuzanaliptakova3930]

I saw the movie earlier on today and I was speechless,the singing and the scenery wow!!!

[@malcolmchapman3213]

I have actually seen the chior in port isaac, around 7 yrs ago &they were fab. Just seen the film, blown my mind. Absolutely great.

[@sleepylari3777]

What a FINE Specimen of Actors and Fisherman...Go Ahead Girls, Pick Just One! 🇨🇦🤩🇨🇦🤩🇨🇦🤩🇨🇦

[@chrisarcher6972]

Pick me! (Okay, I wasn't there, but I've belted this one out a few times in a pub in PZ. The 80s weren't all bad...)

[@philfairclough]

In the early 90s I was the BBC Spotlight SW reporter for Cornwall. One of the happiest periods of my career. This sound brings back so many wonderful memories. Singing this song (me badly) with male voice choirs and at pub lock ins, Cornwall rugby matches...including beating Yorkshire in the final of the County Championships at Twickenham ... was the essence of all that makes Cornwall wonderful. I live in Miami now... but like they say... Cornwall grows over you. Can't wait to make a return trip

[@DronemanJoeRc]

It was early 60’s when we stayed at holiday cottages in Port Gaverne belonging to the Boltons…my friend & I were teenagers & visited Port Isaac youth club..one of the village lads was Billy Hawkins & I remember us showing the boys some judo moves up on the Headland, I did the stomach throw on Billy & he rolled towards the edge but was really winding me up !

[@sallydickson6193]

Simply wonderful, fond memories of our holiday there in Mevagissey xx

[@melanieohara6941]

Melanie..hello how are you!!❣️

[@mergrew0110]

This brings back fond memories of warm June nights, in the 60's on St Mary's, in the Isles of Scilly, drinking warm beer and dancing on the beach, without a care in the world.

[@brucebannerman6848]

'Trelawney' aka 'The Song of The Western Men', is the Cornish National Anthem - - It's another country when you cross the Tamar (The River that separates Devon & Cornwall), The Yetties (of Yetminster, Dorset), sang an excellent version on one of their albums, c1975.

Isn't the song called "Little Liz I love you"?

[@SueHendriks]

It can be called both

[@jeanrobinson705]

Do i spy Daniel Mays busking along with the Friends?

[@SueHendriks]

Yes

[@LisaSmith-th1bh]

Yes

[@jeanrobinson705]

Yes, there's also David Hayman. The title does say there's the cast of the movie in there.

[@BenBanjo87]

There shouldn't be any backing music, folk songs like this were always sung unaccompanied in pubs, etc!

[@sixfootbear]

You are wrong.Some kind of squeezebox,usually a concertina, a drum,maybe a fiddle.Whatever was to hand.There is all sorts of folk music just as there are all sorts of people,

[@lillylove3508]

Get your facts straight, there was very often someone present with a musical instrument. Everything from fiddle and flutes to mouth harps, playing on spoons or comb or even a saw.

[@Wotsitorlabart]

@@sixfootbear Actually, the poster is correct - English folk song (and I include Cornish in that) was traditionally sung unaccompanied. Only in recent years have we seen the rise of musical accompaniment. However, fiddles, pipes and tabors etc were used to accompany morris dancers, clog dancers and such like.

[@Wotsitorlabart]

@@sixfootbear But the original poster is not quite correct - this isn't a 'folk song', it's a 19th century American minstrel song and it's being sung by a male voice choir which is a Victorian concept.

[@Wotsitorlabart]

@@lillylove3508 Wrong.

[@elizabethrukmanis9227]

Little Liz not Little eyes x

[@SueHendriks]

Elizabeth Bates Rukmanis it can be called Little Lize or Eyes but it is originally called Honey Honey x

[@elizabethrukmanis9227]

Sue Hendriks i like “honey honey” as the title 😀

[@alanroberts4517]

Who is the guy leading the song. Is he an actor or one of the band.

[@SueHendriks]

[@cjatruckphotos]

Little Liz not Little Eyes

[@SueHendriks]

It can be both

[@SueHendriks]

The song 'Little Eyes', also known as 'Little Lize', 'Little Liza', 'Little Liz' and 'Honey Honey' has a history that has seen multiple transpositions between folk culture and commercial environments on opposite sides of the Atlantic
