Plugged-In-Fest: She Moved Through The Fair (Irish Trad.)

[Bluesberry]

Well, I racked my brains thinking of what song to do for plugged in fest.  I decided to try a traditional Irish folk song, "She Moved Through The Fair".  Most of you British Isles dudes will know this song.  I really love this crazy song, it really gets inside the head.  This song is always done acoustic so it seemed a good candidate for Electric Guitars.  All electric guitars, played through my microBR.

When this first started I thought it was going to be "over the hills and far away" The zeppelin quality is there. This is a stunning cover of a song I've never heard, but am going to look up very shortly Dave!

Awesome composition here. Absolutely stunning.

I though Led Zep too...this was awesome! A real treat!

[Geir]

I heard the same as Tony ... but then it evolved into something else...

Really cool Dave!

Really cool, great solo !!!

Great choice of song. You made it yours !!

Nice job, Dave. And a great idea to cover a traditional folk song. I must have a look through "Rise Up Singing" and other folk song books in my collection.


By the way, it's interesting to read the Led Zeppelin comments. While I was looking for a video for the jukebox (found a lovely version by Sinéad O'Connor), I stumbled across the fact that Led Zeppelin recorded an instrumental version of this song under the title "White Summer". Allegedly, Page stole his DADGAD arrangement/adaptation from Davey Graham.

When I went looking for inspiration for this song I found this, this is the version I like best.  What a song, what a singer.
