JIM JARRATT
Registrace 2. 10. 2010
I am a former actor, a writer and a musician. I play lots of instruments but perform with a tiny Canarian Timple, which nowadays lies at the heart of all my music. I have written and had published various walkers guides to the North of England, and writings in magazines and papers, including the Yorkshire Post and the Guardian. I have been writing songs, recording and performing stuff for over 40 years. Some of my songs are sad, some controversial. Most are funny. Now I have a new medium - CZcams. Now retired I can make songs and movies at my leisure. Spielberg better watch out!

GOODBYE KIRKGATE MARKET Jim Jarratt 2023
zhlédnutí 209Před 10 měsíci
Goodbye Kirkgate Market.... This video has been a long journey in the making! I wrote the song in 1973, publishing it two years later in my 'View From Wibsey Slack' song anthology. It was performed on the local folk circuit for many years, before I finally got round to recording it in 2013, as part of a CD called 'Squashed Hedgehogs in the Road'. The sudden relevance (and irony) of the current ...

The Midgley Pace Egg Play is performed on Good Friday at various locations throughout the Upper Calder Valley, West Yorkshire. It was originally performed in post war times by Students of Calder High School, but its long upheld tradition goes back much further than that, its origins being lost in the mists of time.

DERMOT MURPHY A Force of Nature Jim Jarratt March 2022
zhlédnutí 160Před 2 lety
Jeremiah DERMOT Murphy was a farmer, a character and a folk performer extraordinaire. I first encountered him in the early seventies, when bored with the ubiquitous guitar, he was learning to play the piano accordion and we quickly became good mates. He became a brilliant accordionist, but he was also equally at home with melodeon, concertina, banjo, tin whistle, fiddle and bones. But that was ...
MARY THE MAID OF THE INN. Jim Jarratt 2021

Mary the Maid of the Inn was one of the great urban myths of the 19th century Britain. The story told here probably took place (if it did so at all), back in the late 17th or early 18th century, location being ‘your nearest ruined abbey’! In Yorkshire it was most popularly associated with an inn near Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds, called the ‘Hark to Rover’, (now in the Abbey House Museum!) In the v...

THAT OH SO FEELIN BLUES - Jim Jarratt 2018
After my last festival……
Never got to actually talk to him but saw him quite a few times growing up in the 80s. I used to shout hello and he would wave and carry on on his way. Growing up i always wondered where he was going.
First heard this song sung by Bob Pegg in 1976 and he credited Jim with it. My wife heard Bob’s version and started singing it a few years later. It was a few years more before I heard Jim singing it, just found out about Jim’s you tube and video channel last night while in conversation with Jim. I am going to enjoy a trawl through the rest of the videos.
how wonderful! i am really enjoying your hard work, its great!
Jim, I loved your video and the music, I met him at my parents house on Rawdon Road, Horsforth once in the 90s lovely man 🙂👍
glad you liked it. I never actually met him, but I saw him frequently enough - as in the song!
So wonderful to see a pace egg play - love that they were raising funds for good causes - Bravo Midgley players!!
I love this, it's a perfect family moment in time x
Glad you liked it! Lizzie is case! Jimx
Fantastic song, as usual Jim, love it!
Okay Jim, thanks.
Excellent Jim! l can see that a huge amount of work has gone into the making of this video. It is of course up to your usual very high standard too. You are such a talented and creative individual Jim, who can effortlessly turn his artistic hand to so many different things! Very well done. Thank you also for the credit at the end. Regards. Rick Newman.

My Dad used to drive these in Bradford.He started as a conducter in the 1950,s and then was a driver of Trollies in Bradford until his death in 1971(same year as these busses)His name was Jozef Roman if any retired remember him.

Glad you like my channel. I have three new music videos in production, but I don't think they'll appear this side of 2023. I've been busy with family business and writing. Best Wishes for Christmas, regards Jim Jarratt.

@@МашаУмная you are my top subscriber Masha. I am very grateful for your support. Jimx
@@jimjarratt1 My dear, dear sir! It's so pleasant to read it. You know, I constantly hum your Tri martolod and your brilliant Battle of Flamborough Head. You are the best. Really!! And, you know, you are so handsome...I love you
@@МашаУмная I am massively flattered! Guess that must make you nearly as old as me! All the best to you. Jim.
There's a good girl!Terriers are so curious. Good old breed.Hunters, like cats.
Superb! Thank-you. Flesh robots soon.
I wonder, do you love cats? You know, it's a life-or-death question😀! My darling!🙃! I've got ten cats and a dog, border collie.
I do like cats, we had them when I was a child, and I befriended one or two down the years, but I am essentially a dog person - (check out my videos!) I like and respect all creatures of every kind. At the moment the only dog in my life is Roxie, my daughters boxer! She is a force majeure!
@@jimjarratt1 I see. If you saw my dog. Her name is Drusilla. Old Celtic name🙂.Druzha in Russian. How she loves cats... They all were stray animals. But now they are mine.
@@МашаУмная Mr. Fudge was my sons dog. The main dog in my life was a little terrier called Meg. She died in 2013 at the age of 17. I made a you tube vid in her memory which you can see at czcams.com/video/OeLkThoftk0/video.html
Why did this poor boy die ? How old was he? It's a great grief. I've got nine cats and one dog.God forbid!
Fudge was my sons dog and we looked after him from time to time. When we had flooding at my sons house he stayed with us for six months. I loved him deeply. He had a heart murmur towards the end of his life, but had to be put down recently when his back legs failed and he was in great pain. I made the video in memory of him. (I wrote the song a few years back.)
@@jimjarratt1 Do you mean you had to kill him? My god... By the way, now I have 10 cats. And a dog of course.
👀🖕🥴❤️
Was this song written in 1974?
Yeh. Sometime around that time. Possibly 73. I was in my first small collection of songs -The View From Wibsey Slack, Published by Arvon Foundation in 1975. It is currently in print in 'Songs for the Life' Vol. 1. pub. 2019. feedaread.com
