Brenda Wootton - Cornish Folk Song

[@mumsow]

I'd forgotten how much Brenda had left her mark on my memory 💚🙂💙

[@folklikeme]

I met this beautiful lady, and miss her sweet voice very much. she used to perform funny songs too, and had a large trunk on stage with different hats and props in it. I remember her bringing me to tears with a song called ballena, which was about the demise of the whales.

[@theBellydancer1949]

What a beautiful voice - I saw her live in Cornwall she reduced me to tears of laughter with her jokes and anecdotes in between songs - then to tears with a song called "I'm troubled" Such a warm personality exuded from her. I'm still searching for another copy of "Pipers Folk" - someone stole mine by borrowing and disappearing with it.

[@martinevans123]

Amazing. No one ever had a voice so pure. Brenda Wootton was a great singer. Thanks for posting this little piece of Cornish musical gold.

[@NorseWarriorPrincess]

Cornish is a beautiful language. I might be mostly English, but I love your culture.

[@firthlaist218]

NorseWarriorPrincess: Respect to you, Norse Warrior!!

[@ungrateful-66]

Welsh and Cornish are both beautiful and virtually indistinguishable, as Cornwall basically means “Horn of Whales,” as I’m sure you know. I thought it was offensive some English guy said Welsh people sounded as if they were coughing when they spoke, as if English were much better.

[@Theoriginalsparkythemagicpiano]

@@ungrateful-66 The Cornish were once called the West Welsh

[@joshhood52]

@@ungrateful-66 They're related but they are not as similar as that. Yes 'Wales' and the 'wall' of Cornwall have the same eytemological root, but it means 'foreigner' in old English.

[@RoserraRae]

bruh i’m fully cornish and nobody speaks it haha

[@speakswahilidammit]

Beautiful! Lovely song, great singer. The Cornish have retained their culture, & the language is undergoing a rebirth at long last! We never forgot our roots, even growing up deep in the bush in Africa.

Beautiful Cornish song beautiful Cornish lady please we want more

Makes me proud to have a cornish heritage/surname. Xx

[@briancornish1296]

Wonderful....Thank you to my Cornish ancestors...

[@kernowdel]

Thanks, I love her voice. I love Zeppelin, The Prodigy, Hard core dance,anything that makes the blood pump. But i have been a fan of Brenda for a long time. R I P

[@TheNordog]

Saw on stage in the county of Lincoln twice with John the fish!

[@roberthudson3386]

The pronunciation and accent she is singing in sounds very similar to Welsh, I wonder where, or indeed if, Brenda learned Cornish. Did she learn it as a first language or a second language, or just learn the words to the song? When I listen to today's Cornish speakers they sound very "West Country" when they speak Cornish, this performance is quite different. Absolutely lovely performance and very beautifully sung, what a wonderful singer.

[@nathelondon3719]

RIP the Voice of Cornwall.

Aye, Dan, I'd say RIP Brenda, as well. We used to follow her round the obscure Cornish pub folk circuit in the seventies. A lovely lady and kind to us. And that laugh! Peace and love, A

[@ccdg1066]

wonderful singer and great to hear this in Cornish!

[@raytregoning5254]

This delightful lady had the most beautiful voice -we had such wonderful evenings at the folk club in St Buryan.

[@CriticalListener]

How very lovely! I'd never heard of her before, but saw pictures of her album covers on Pinterest, which piqued my interest. Truly a special voice, special singer. Sorry to read below she's no longer with us.

[@SublimeStuff]

A special person

[@Beachloaf]

Brenda Lives on!! God bless her!!

[@Beatmyguest001]

I love her. Like listening to a lullaby.

[@tigerbray8988]

yes puting me to sleep Zzzzzzz

[@TheAdwatson]

I met Brenda on a folk music cruise, such a naturally friendly person it makes me cry when I hear this song. Being half Welsh and about a quarter Cornish may play a part in this.

[@buergidunitz]

What a voice!

[@bluesboy310]

I found out yesterday that I'm actually a relative of hers, I think 2nd cousin twice removed, or something like that. It's really humbling to see a family member I have never met, being so successful. :)

[@killiekentman]

i had the pleasure of being at a concert by Brenda and chatting afterwards. what a lovely lady. she signed the LP i won, sadly ive lost it. i think it was the 70s at the marymass folk festival. Ray

[@SublimeStuff]

There are many tracks from Brenda's albums on KZbin. You could begin by looking at posting by "MehefinHeulog". She was wonderful. All who knew her, miss her so much.

[@Bellasie1]

Beautiful language and song!

[@whitneyrayemanning1335]

Who would want a remake of this done ? I'm learning Cornish and would love to sing in my language and wondered if people would like to hear

[@jubjub6330]

Yes please do

[@kirstyreade3264]

I love Brenda and Crowdy Crawn, grew up on the stuff - these lyrics/words were posted here but seemed to have dissapeared. Can someone please post the written lyrics again for us? After singing them for a concert I'd like to sing again and do a proper job, of them.... love Cornwall Kx

[@Beatmyguest001]

i was thinking the same!!! the lyrics used to be here and now no longer!!!! i used to love to sing along :( :(
