English Folk Band 'Bellowhead' performing "Gosport Nancy" on ITV Weekend. New album 'Revival' released 30th June 2014 Amazon: po.st/Yo1UKY iTunes: po.st/HPzXXj
I’m from Gosport and used to see Cyril Tawney at Gosport Folk club. Not sure when but early 70’s I think. His family ( going back ) lived round the corner from me. He wrote many fine songs and I urge. You all to look him up . Thanks Cyril....from a Gosport Sally.
Oh dear! Look at Bellowhead crammed into that tiny space having to stand still instead of jumping about like they usually do! *goes back to weeping about the band breaking up*
This is like watching Da Vinci trying to paint with his arms tied behind his back - to see Bellowhead fill a stage with the sheer joy of playing music watch the CZcams tape of Sloe Gin Set. Better still see them live before they're gone, you'll remember the experience forever.
The band announced a one-off virtual reunion concert to be streamed on the 5th December 2020, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hedonism. (FYI; Gosport Guy)
Nancy Johnson, she's my darling She's my every waking thought How she greets me when she meets me When my ship gets in to port All the Gosport ladies, they do the best they can. But if you're making a bed for a sailor's head there's none like my girl Nan. Gosport girls can drink for England Gosport girls, they goes their tot! Rum and brandy, gin and shandy Gosport girls'll drink the lot! All the Gosport ladies they swig the flowing can But for knocking it back with Honest Jack there's none like my girl Nan. Oh Nancy can't you see You're the only girl for me! How I dream of lovely Nancy when I'm sailing on the sea. Gosport girls, they're good at dancing They're the best, there is no doubt. When the music sets them prancing How they'll fling their skirts about! All the Gosport ladies they do the French Can-Can But for real high kicks and fancy tricks there's none like my girl Nan. Oh, Nancy, can't you see? You're the only girl for me! How I dream of lovely Nancy when I'm sailing on the sea. Nancy Johnson keeps a bar-room where the boys can take their ease She will wake me and she'll shake me she will do whatever she please. All the Gosport ladies they do the best they can But for making a bed for a sailor's head there's none like my girl Nan Oh, Nancy, can't you see? You're the only girl for me! How I dream of lovely Nancy when I'm sailing on the sea. Oh, Nancy, can't you see? You're the only girl for me! How I dream of lovely Nancy when I'm sailing on the sea.
