My father was a massive corries fan and when he died last November because of the lockdown business I live in Canada now and couldn’t get back to Scotland for his funeral, so I asked my cousin to write the last lines of the song “ Johnies guid bent bows been broke” etc and had her put it in his coffin for me.

The Corries are amazing. I love to see the live use of the Combolins. One of the groups that I wish could have lived forever!!

Wow,, here's one I've missed up to now. Not only great vocal, but absolutely brilliant combolin arrangement and performance. What a gifted musician Roy was.

And to think that Roy designed and made those Combolins. Fantastic musician. Tremendous feeling in this song.

That is the most beautiful variant on a song I know as "Johnny of Braidosly". I used to sing it at The Northern California Renaissance Faire back in the day. I have forgotten most of it. Same tune.

Only heard the Old Blind Dogs version until now. Love both, it's interesting to hear the different approaches.

I'm not sure how I came to find them on YT but thank the day I discovered the Corries! Beautiful song. + 1 fan. As an English lad born and bred with Scottish and Irish Heritage love this, can appreciate the raw power, feelings conveyed.

Is history and should respect the words of the Corries!

4 years ago I listened to this beautiful ballad and I commented. Now 4 years later, I still find this stunning. I remember Ewan McCall saying that a ballad such as this requires as much from the audience as from the singers. This is a beautiful telling of a very sad tale. People in the 18th century had very little to eat and there are many songs of poachers who were caught and hanged or transported to the Colonies. Hard times.
