about

Learned from the repertoire of Lizzie Higgins. Roud has 28 instances of this nonsense song from Scotland, England and the USA. The Edinburgh lawyer George Ritchie Kinloch (1796?-1877) privately published The Ballad Book in 1827, containing The Man in the Moon, a version of the above nonsense which has delighted folk for centuries. Of Lizzie's version, Jeannie provided the first two verses, and Andy Hunter composed the remainder.

about

quinie Glasgow, UK

I am based in Glasgow and explore traditional Scots song. Inspired largely by Scots singers including the repertoire of Lizzie Higgins (1929-1993), I bring together a range of sources and sparse accompaniment.
