WONGIE FOLK SONG OF THE WEEK: eddi reader - vagabond

eddi reader - vagabond
written with the lyrics of english poet john masefield, eddi decided to write a song with her partner john douglas in conjunction with her current tour. loving the song so, she's decided to also offer it as a free mp3 for fans of her music (click on the download arrow on the soundcloud player). easily one of my favorite singer/songwriters of all time, i truly hope that eddi will be releasing new material soon! this is a nice gem to bide my anticipation!
check out this live version i found recently!

retro wongie: fairground attraction

fairground attraction - the moon is mine / c'mon get happy (live in japan)
[feeling nostalgic for a second and thought i'd share with you one of my all time favorite songs from my all time favorite band, like EVER! in college, i kind of adopted their one and only proper release, a first of a million kisses as a personal blueprint. filled with romantic hope and dreams, the album still remains as a classic in my mind. if you've never heard of them, you should go and get the album, like, yesterday!]


eddi reader - kiteflyer's hill (live in japan 2002)
[the story behind this is that ex-fairground attraction singer eddi reader wrote this song with her ex-boyfriend (and ex-collaborator), mark e. nevin, in mind. the song speaks for itself and this performance just shows you how amazing eddi's voice is]
