As far as I know Audacity is still being actively developed. It's open source software so support is via a public forum. The latest stable release was a few months ago.

I've been told that if he were to sue all those who have recorded or published the song without permission or attribution, he would be a very rich man, but that he just can't be bothered. In any case, I remember him as a fine fellow, whom I met when we both performed at a Polish shanty festival some years ago. 8^) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradewinds Ted Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 John's last name is spelt "Conolly" and he is indeed a fine fellow, as well as a fine musician/author/composer. Saw him perform maybe 5 or 6 years ago at Ellesmere Port, and also again in Edgworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got "my" spelling online. Just goes to show that you can't believe everything you see on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradewinds Ted Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 To be fair, I got my spelling online too. "Connolly" was used as often as "Conolly" but the latter came from what appeared to be his own website. When we saw him perform a few years ago, he had recently written several new verses to "Fiddler's Green" but I don't have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one (of many, I'm sure), would be very interested in hearing them. And then there's the Morris dance parody, "When Your Bells Have Turned Green".

Tradewinds Ted Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I don't have this CD but I'm told he sings the new version on his 2004 CD "Ranter's Wharf" which also includes the title track. So not quite as recent as I had thought! His website indicates this can be purchased directly by contacting him, and he has at least two CDs since then. http://www.johnconolly.co.uk/merchandise.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
