Tatties and Herrin' - The Gaugers

[@Ptarmi]

Excellent! I used to have to regularly walk through some of the guttin' sheds in Peterhead .... believe me, not for the fainthearted! These women are no shrinking violets! ;-)

[@Motoguzzi750]

Ta Charles - I once heard a bloke just sing this brilliantly in Stonehaven Folk club 12 years ago...Love the album "Awa wi the rovin sailor" - I also have 2 books of stories from the late Peter Buchan. Truly great stories.

[@NotAFanAnymore]

A gem

[@LindsayCurran]

Fantastic, bigmanio! Can only marvel at what memories craigowler must summon, watching and listening...Many, many thanks!

[@Lossieloon306]

Brilliant song, great to see history like this.

[@lizscott9107]

Tom Spiers's voice is perfect for this song, ably accompanied by Arthur Watson and the late Peter Hall. All authentic Aberdonians. I love the lyrics

[@Motoguzzi750]

What a great song, great version, great video!!

ARTHUR WATSON, was head of peacock printmakers, arthur had a fine voice, multi talented man!!,

[@Motoguzzi750]

Must get a hold of that one Charles - though I love these songs to sing them would not be "right" . The stuff I am working on is from my own country, Australia, or at least where I was born and raised until moving here 12 years ago!

Hi Lindsay - I was thinking of sending it to you but I see you've got to this one before me :-)

[@mikeross4748]

Anybody know the date of the film? Mike

[@OldManGripStrength]

Don't know the exact date, but pretty sure it was filmed 1930's. The boat at 1:00 (D'Arcy Cooper) was requisitioned by the Navy in 1939 and sunk in 1941 along with it's crew.

kintakintyea--great reading for this Yank! Boil them twice? Oy! PS I understand, but canna yet speak, Glaswegian. Blame Battlefield Band and McManus.

[@mrrhum3311]

This would be Doric, from the northeast. A couple of distinct features: "f" for "wh" and "gweed" for "guid". Have fun with it!

[@harley4481]
