Our new single 'Newcastle' is out today, ahead of the release of the full album FALSE LANKUM on Friday.
Newcastle is the third single taken from our new album False Lankum. We learned this song from Seán Fitzgerald of The Deadlians/Dublin Ballad Tour fame. The tune was first published in ‘The English Dancing Master’ (1651) where it is simply entitled ‘Newcastle’ the words may be related to a broadside ballad printed in 1620 entitled ‘The contented Couckould, Or a pleasant new Songe of a New-Castle man whose wife being gon from him, shewing how he came to London to her, & when he found her carried her backe againe to New-Castle Towne.’
