Sleeve Notes
IT IS only this year (1963) that the Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell have shot into prominence as one of the most exciting and polished folk groups in Scotland. In common with many of the artists in the folk music revival they work during the day and sing in the evenings and at weekends. Paddie is the wife of an Edinburgh architect and works in an office. Two of the men are art teachers, the other is an architect. They have made their music all over Scotland and in Ireland. For long periods they have been engaged as cabaret performers, they have sung at seaside shows, at Edinburgh Festivals, and recently achieved outstanding national success in a series of television appearances. Their fans usually fall into two categories-those that prefer the all-male gusto of "Lock the Door Lauriston¹," "Fine Girl," or "Jug o' Punch," or the others who like the soft, sad songs best, such as "O'er the Water," "Lord Gregory," or "Singing Bird." This first recording by the Corrie Folk Trio ought to delight both camps - and, of course, these discerning people who like them whatever they sing.
