Moonrakers
Великобритания
Добавлен 17 май 2009
Oxford's much-toured 4-piece band, Moonrakers (Celtic harp, cello, stringed instruments, whistles, female/male vocals), pride themselves on having brought traditional and contemporary folk music to new audiences in village halls, churches, arts centres and festivals across the south of England in recent years. With songs and tunes from the English, Irish and Scottish tradition as well as their own compositions, they’ve been described as “startlingly talented” (Oxford Times), with five albums of "exquisite music "(BBC) and "truly wonderful" (Wycombe Festival) performances. 2023 saw the launch of their latest album ‘Green to Gold’. Moonrakers albums have received glowing reviews in the music press (“The real deal”, The Living Tradition; “Uplifting, sensitively crafted songs and tunes” FATEA magazine) .To see and hear more, go to www.moonrakers.net

John Fenwick's Flower Among them A' - Moonrakers (feat. Andy May)
I learnt this at school, thanks for the memory
Lovely
✌️ Peace ☮️ within our ♥️
Great work! A bold departure from the other versions I know
A song of the past marking the passing of the jacobites failed attempt to overcome the government forces in an attempt to restore the young Stuart prince to the throne. The highlanders were punished for many years after, they couldn’t bare arms, wear their colours(tartan) and many were pushed off their land.
Very beautifully performed.
Fantastic
Beautiful version of one of my favorite folk songs. I enjoyed the introduction and spoken verse too. I have a cover of it on my channel, too, though mine's fairly basic and much less ambitious :) Subscribed!
Suberb live performance tonight! This song was my favourite! A great evening ! You are all so talented! 👍
Many thanks
Bravissimi, complimenti

wow i love this version. lyrics please
Gorgeous
😱 p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶
Loved that show. Can;t believe it got cancelled.
This version of the song is a true gem. The haunting melancholy tone calling for the end of the series of conflicts is so fitting.
This is a tune I catch myself humming….I wondered who created this music. I love it!
This song is the equivalent of telling the Ukrainians to stop fighting and laying down belly up. Fight for your freedom or be erased.
Is it though? The Jacobites were supporters of a deposed regime that did not share the values of the majority of the population, who in trying to reestablish said regime were essentially just killing people to accomplish something that no one wanted and that didn't have a hope of success with many attempts over the course of 60 years. The song is asking them to stop starting pointless wars. Not quite the same as telling someone not to fight back.
Unbelievable. Thank you. 🍒🍒🍒
Fantastic!
Nice!!
Absolutely splendid. Thankyou for keeping this alive. R.
Sehr schön - eine wunderschöne Stimme und gute Musiker
Brilliant! Thank you.
beautifully played and sung very atmospheric. Well done the sound engineer on this recording, great balance of the instruments and vocals.
Das ist rein weltliche Musik. Was hat so etwas in einer Kirche zu suchen?
Love this!
thanks😊
неплохо!)
Love this!
I wonder what is the style melody tone make wrong the original Dona song .
Jacobites were right though. The other side were corrupt imposters.
Where I grew up.
Just came across you as you are playing near Oxford and came up in my FB feed. Unfortunately I have previous plans, but your music is great and I shall look out for you. x
