about

From my upcoming album 'Shorelines' pre-order on Bandcamp here: nualakennedy.bandcamp.com/album/shorelines

Also known as Once I Had a Sweetheart, this song has been collected in America, England and in Australia. It still amazes me how folk songs can catch on, and travel the world, taking on a life of their own. In England, Cecil Sharp collected it from children who sang it as part of a game. I love that connection - one of my reasons for making this recording was that I became a mother myself, and wanted to explore the representation of women in our traditional song canon; excavating songs where she is a dynamic, proactive personality.
