Find it revolting if you must - but we don't need to be informed of it!
This is a a forum for that tiny minority of people who have found
Northumbrian music and culture rewarding and uplifting.
If you have to disagree with a posting please do it with some
understanding and respect for the person expressing their thoughts.
Your response was insulting, dismissive and out of order to my way of
thinking. We are a tiny minority of Northumbrian pipes lovers and
should not be in the game of belittling one another's musical
favourites.
I am suggesting you move on from your prejudices against trained
singers and listen to the whole story of the piece which seems to be
more Lieder than Folk.
We don't want to know if it makes you sick!!
As aye
Anthony

Just to clarify: the "piece" is glorious. It's the way the singer
shafts it
that I find truly revolting.
Cheers, Paul

Since when did gratuitous nastiness become discussion?
There are polite/witty ways of giving an opinion. Being cruelly
revolting about a piece that truly speaks to someone else is
childish.

Which I of course did -- pretty sharpish. But this is a forum for
DISCUSSING
things. A contributor expressed his opinion and I did the same.
Don't
let it
bother you! ;-)
Cheers,
Paul Gretton

OK so it doesn't butter your parsnip!
Perhaps the easiest answer is to press the stop button instead
of letting it bother you!

"particularly attractive" ? LOL! How about "Make sure you have a
barf
bag
handy before you listen! "
But then: de gustibus non est disputandum as we say in Maastricht
(pronounced "disgusting buses full of disputing nuns").
