Wha’ll be King but Charlie (Scottish Rebel Folk Ballad) - Sam Shackleton

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Busking an old Scottish Jacobite rebel folk ballad on the banjo beneath the castle in beautiful Edinburgh, Scotland. Sung in the Scots language, “Wha’ll Be King but Charlie” is about Scotlands 1700’s Jacobite king/claimant of the throne, Bonnie Prince Charlie, a very important figure in Scottish history. After the Jacobite uprising was defeated at the Battle of Culloden much of the Scottish highland culture, language, and clan system was lost and purposefully destroyed in the years that followed. I love this song which serves as a rallying call to Scottish clans and often wonder how different Scotland would be today if the Jacobites had won. 🏴

I was gutted when I learned you were on the east coast US with the Mary Wallopers and I missed it! Come back soon!
Your music inspired me to pick up the banjo
love it so much
This is awesome. I hope you record this one and put it out there. I would love to listen to you playing this stuff while I BARREL DOWN MY COUNTRY ROAD. o/// I am descended from Texan Scots who got kicked out of Scotland for being Jacobites, and your music gives me a determination to keep trucking brother.

Oh Sheeeet - I'm feelin' it, Bhoys!!!

Just found another regular song to listen to, nice
Mr Shackleton, another beaut! I can’t wait for another album.
Know you the song “Bonnie Charlie no awa”? One of my favorite Scottish folk songs!
Anyways, may God bless your heart! Cheers!
Well done Sam! I love your playing. I have Scottish-Canadian ancestry. My great X 3 grandfather came here from the Isle of Lewis in the early 1800's, and settled in Canada. I love Scottish fiddling, and folk songs.
Love this song, love this version!
I was born in Scotland because my parents happened to be there at the time. Love this!
Volume is never enough when this plays!
Amazing! Defo need this one on spotify!!

Found your channel today and in awe of how amazingly talented you are. Going to try to get some friends to go with me to your show in Sacramento!

I've really come to love your music over the last few months. I'm a beginner player who runs around in Clifton Hicks' circles. I'm working on a rendition of Lone Prairie based on your arrangement. Ramble over to North Carolina sometime soon, I'd love to hear you live! Thank you and keep the songs coming!
I love me some Clifton Hicks

Love your stuff! Have you ever thought about doing tutorials on some of these songs? Cheers from the states!!
Awesome!! Subscribed.
Really like these folk musics songs interesting history hope yo hear more love from vietnam🇻🇳
Come up to Moray!
Fucking brilliant. Thank you!
Any idea on when there may be a new album on the horizon??
Thank you!! Regarding a new album, I’m working on it now, but being completely independent as I am it’s been very hard to juggle releasing an album with touring etc. as a lot of work is involved to make a decent album & make sure it does well! Hope to get one out soon though, most likely some time in the summer!! Cheers!! 🤘🤘
@@sorleythebard That's the best news I've heard all year so far! I hope your touring has been going well. It must be wildy busy for you running the whole show. If you could add more Canadian dates we'd be glad to have you next time you're here, but worst case saves me an excuse to come to Scotland and track down some of my family's history and their stories. Nonetheless looking forward to your next release. Cheers!
Please do" parting glass"
Will this be put on apple music?
Pretty cool. Now let’s see ya perform it in Westminster 😛
sgoinneil!
As a Orange man from Northern Ireland, loyal to the protestant faith and all the revolution delivered us. I'd buy that man a pint, fair play, I respect true Jacobites if he is as such. 🍻
I'll buy the pints and the food for the night if you come to paris
Good stuff. Do you have a link to the version of the lyrics you use?
That is superb! What tuning is it in? More please 👍
Do you play a left handed banjo? Also the nylon string sound great.
Alba shaor 🏴
Great song and well done! As to Cherlie, if he hadn't been such a pisshead he'd have made better friends with the French, left a Jacobite bairn after him for the throne, and the world would be a different place today. But here we are 😅 And at least we've got good songs to remember the numpty by 😂🍻
Great ballad! Ehi your five string looks like a Shackleton
It is!! 🪕🪕
Very nice version, I thought I'd heard every possible iteration of this one but you really make it your own.
