andy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 FPMSL-[] gid yin Andy Only just noticed you said to post a seperate thread. It's in this one and am sure it will be listened to plenty. Can't stop listening to it! My last photovid wasn't on the main site for copyright reasons on the soundtrack. If I do another Scottish Scoobies one and can get permission to use that then it would be a great backing track and could be published on the site.
4Hero Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Superb voice Mrs Gus, very nice indeed [] I have to say that out of all the versions listed here, this is definately my number 1 in the Flower of Scotland download chart.
gus the bus Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Mrs Bus would have nae problem in you using it! The Corries (Music) Ltd also gave their permission in relation to her CD. Dont know if you need anything more than that? Gus
andy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 You mention available on CD? I want to hear more as that is fantastic. Where do I buy said CD?
gus the bus Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 It was only done as a single[] in 1993 and is Honey Records 002. but not sure if its still in production. Gus
andy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 It was only done as a single[] in 1993 and is Honey Records 002. Not sure if its still in production. Gus Shame - with a voice like that and such good production they could have been another Capercaille or Runrig. Still listening to it!
gus the bus Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 PS Bass Guitar in the background is by moi[:$] . The guy who managed us @ the time worked with Karen Mathieson, Capercaillie, Mike Scott, The McCluskey Brothers ( The Bluebells if you remember them?) and a band called the Pearlfishers (Davie Scott fae the Pearlfishers did the production on our demo tape but it was Castle Studio's in Edinburgh who did aw the work on the single). Gus
andy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 It's awesome. The production is fantastic. I've heard many tacky versions of that song - i.e. most of the links I published earlier! That is absolutely spot on. I'm listening to it again and again and still not getting tired of it.
micra_wrc Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 just heard this. that's awesome gus. am feeling all patriotic now. bring the mrs to the edn meet cos i wanna give her a hug [{] [}] imy []
gus the bus Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 She's gone into hiding[:$] she canny believe I let youz put it on the Forum[]
andy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 She's gone into hiding[:$] she canny believe I let youz put it on the Forum[] I can say in all honesty that is the best version of Flower of Scotland I've heard. The Corries version is considered tacky, a couple of the links I posted are decent, but none kept time with the original. Your version is absolutely spot on and what a voice. Whether she likes it or not, Mrs Bus is damned talented!
wrxmania Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Lol @ The Corries version being tacky - its' the original - acoustic guitar, Bodhran and 2 voices []
vicki Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Lol @ The Corries version being tacky - its' the original - acoustic guitar, Bodhran and 2 voices [] I know, I love the Corries []
andy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Lol @ The Corries version being tacky - its' the original - acoustic guitar, Bodhran and 2 voices [] I didn't say the Corries version WAS tacky, I said it was considered tacky. It's one of the perils of having such a popular song. Not long after Roy died I saw Ronnie perform the song solo at Murrayfield in front of a full house. That took real guts - one guy and an acoustic guitar in front of tens of thousands. Mucho respect.
jcscoob Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Mrs Gus The BusIt's a 6MB download, but believe me, it is WELL worth it. Prepare for a patriotic spine-tingling experience! Disclaimer: If you are english you may not experience any tingling of the spine, but you'll be too obsessed right now by the false belief spread by the media that you can actually win the World Cup to notice.
