0:01:36 > 0:01:37So to start us off tonight,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40what could be more appropriate than a singer from Ireland

0:02:50 > 0:02:54# And start it all over again
0:02:57 > 0:03:02# Start it all over again
0:03:04 > 0:03:08# And if you stagger or stumble

0:03:11 > 0:03:16# I'll pick up the pieces of pain
0:03:18 > 0:03:22# I will cradle you, cry with you

0:34:09 > 0:34:12In true festival spirit, this next piece includes
0:34:12 > 0:34:15a great collaboration between two Celtic regulars.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Firstly, from Admiral Fallow, Louis Abbott, and Julie Fowlis.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22This is a song called Sally Brown that
0:34:22 > 0:34:26I found on a compilation record of sea shanties that was put
0:34:26 > 0:34:31together by Johnny Depp, and I really loved the song when I heard it and
0:34:31 > 0:34:34on the recording, Teddy Thompson was singing the song
0:34:34 > 0:34:37so I decided to record it and a little part of me thought,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40"If I record this song, maybe Johnny Depp will hear it
0:34:40 > 0:34:45"and he'll like my version and then he'll want to meet me and
0:34:45 > 0:34:50"we'll go to the pub and have a chat and it'll be very nice."
0:34:50 > 0:34:52So, anyway.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55So, this is Sally Brown. So, I'll teach you the chords.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57That's a lovely story.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01This is my husband, by the way. So, he's, you know...
0:35:01 > 0:35:02LAUGHTER
0:35:02 > 0:35:07- ..a wee bit put out about the whole thing.- Great story. Interesting.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16# Sally Brown she's a fine young lady
0:35:16 > 0:35:19# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:35:19 > 0:35:22# She's the mother of a Creole baby
0:35:22 > 0:35:25# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:35:25 > 0:35:28# And we roll all night We roll all day
0:35:28 > 0:35:31# Spend our money all on Sally Brown
0:35:34 > 0:35:37# I shipped onboard of a Liverpool liner
0:35:37 > 0:35:40# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:35:40 > 0:35:43# Her mother doesn't like a tarry sailor
0:35:43 > 0:35:46# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:35:46 > 0:35:50# And we roll all night We roll all day
0:35:50 > 0:35:53# Spend our money all on Sally Brown
0:35:55 > 0:35:59# She wants her to marry a one-legged captain
0:35:59 > 0:36:02# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:36:02 > 0:36:05# He drinks dark rum and he chews tobacco
0:36:05 > 0:36:08# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:36:08 > 0:36:11# And we roll all night We roll all day
0:36:11 > 0:36:14# Spend our money all on Sally Brown
0:36:20 > 0:36:23# For seven long years I courted Sally
0:36:23 > 0:36:26# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:36:26 > 0:36:29# The sweetest girl in all the valley
0:36:29 > 0:36:32# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:36:32 > 0:36:35# And we roll all night We roll all day
0:36:35 > 0:36:38# Spend our money all on Sally Brown
0:36:53 > 0:36:56# For seven long years she wouldn't marry
0:36:56 > 0:36:59# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:36:59 > 0:37:02# And I no longer cared to tarry
0:37:02 > 0:37:05# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:37:05 > 0:37:08# And we roll all night We roll all day
0:37:08 > 0:37:11# Spend our money all on Sally Brown
0:37:14 > 0:37:18# So I courted Sal her only daughter
0:37:18 > 0:37:21# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:37:21 > 0:37:24# For her I sail upon the water
0:37:24 > 0:37:27# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:37:27 > 0:37:30# And we roll all night We roll all day
0:37:30 > 0:37:33# Spend our money all on Sally Brown
0:37:33 > 0:37:36# Now my troubles are all over
0:37:36 > 0:37:39# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:37:39 > 0:37:43# Sally's married to a dirty soldier
0:37:43 > 0:37:45# Way-hey, we roll and go
0:37:45 > 0:37:49# And we roll all night We roll all day
0:37:49 > 0:37:51# Spend our money all on Sally Brown
0:37:51 > 0:37:55# And we roll all night and we roll all day
0:37:55 > 0:37:59# Spend our money all on Sally Brown

0:40:37 > 0:40:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Thank you very much.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Martha Wainwright, a warm welcome to Celtic Connections.- Thank you.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51I want to read something that you said.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54"I don't think I've ever sung this hard, played this hard
0:40:54 > 0:40:57"or tried this hard. I've made this record as a motherless child
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- "and as a mother - two things I had never been before."- Yes.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I mean, what a huge... What a huge statement
0:41:04 > 0:41:06and what a huge change in life.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Yes, indeed, yeah.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12I, you know, worked hard at this...this last record,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Come Home To Mama, but I think also, you know, it was a very
0:41:15 > 0:41:19emotional record because of, you know, a lot...
0:41:19 > 0:41:21I had a lot of feelings.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26I wanted to make a record right after my mother died cos I think
0:41:26 > 0:41:29she would have wanted me to, and also I just had a baby
0:41:29 > 0:41:34and I know that that can sometimes really stall female artists
0:41:34 > 0:41:38cos it is hard to do both, as I am learning more and more every day.
0:41:38 > 0:41:44So I wanted to quickly return to
0:41:44 > 0:41:47going out on the road and songwriting
0:41:47 > 0:41:50and making an album and then going out on the road
0:41:50 > 0:41:51and not being forgotten.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53You have always been a very honest songwriter.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56You've always dealt very openly and honestly with your life
0:41:56 > 0:41:58and you come from a family of honest songwriters
0:41:58 > 0:42:01so I guess your audience would expect nothing less from you...
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- Yeah.- ..than to be able to deal with this stuff through your songs.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Yeah, that's sort of my motto.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09My parents, I think, especially my father,
0:42:09 > 0:42:15Loudon Wainwright III, whose poster I keep seeing here
0:42:15 > 0:42:20and who brought me here for the first time to Glasgow and took me
0:42:20 > 0:42:26out to Rogano's about 20 years ago or 15 years ago maybe,
0:42:26 > 0:42:31and, you know, he used his family, you know,
0:42:31 > 0:42:35and I didn't like it at the time, although I liked some nice songs.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38But I have sort of ended up doing the same thing
0:42:38 > 0:42:41and I guess that's that thing that I've heard,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45that you should never be related to or married to a writer
0:42:45 > 0:42:48because you're going to be miserable, you know.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- So that has happened to an extent. - It's too late now.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54You have now continued the great tradition of Wainwright
0:42:54 > 0:42:58dialogue by writing Everything Wrong.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03- Will you expect your son to write a reply song?- Oh, God.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06That's one person I feel like now I have a really important audience
0:43:06 > 0:43:12member, and I hope I don't write too many songs about him, you know,
0:43:12 > 0:43:15because that might annoy him.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19But, yes, you know,
0:43:19 > 0:43:25I just wanted to apologise in that song to him for my
0:43:25 > 0:43:29wrongdoings and my future wrongdoings because I know there will be many.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- Get the apologies in early? - Exactly. I am very apologetic.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37This is my first song about motherhood.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41And my son probably wishes, the last.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Well, what goes around comes around in my family. Hm.
0:43:50 > 0:43:56# I do most everything wrong
0:44:04 > 0:44:11# Even on the day you were born
0:44:19 > 0:44:23# My husband's been lying and cheating
0:44:23 > 0:44:27# I turned my cheek and reason
0:44:27 > 0:44:32# I change my tune every day
0:44:39 > 0:44:44# There is one thing I want you to be
0:44:47 > 0:44:53# That is smarter than me
0:44:56 > 0:44:59# If things, they don't seem right
0:44:59 > 0:45:03# Open your wings and take flight
0:45:03 > 0:45:09# Don't stick around to watch the pieces fall
0:45:11 > 0:45:16# I don't want you to feel alone
0:45:19 > 0:45:26# But you probably will when you are older
0:45:29 > 0:45:32# I will try to stay alive
0:45:32 > 0:45:36# To watch as much through your eyes
0:45:36 > 0:45:44# But you know one day I will go
0:45:44 > 0:45:49# Don't listen too much to what I say
0:45:52 > 0:45:57# Making sense has never been my way
0:46:00 > 0:46:04# I can teach you, one, two, three
0:46:04 > 0:46:08# I can dance with you on repeat
0:46:08 > 0:46:12# I can hold your hand for ever
0:46:12 > 0:46:16# Na-na, na, na-na, na-na, na
0:46:16 > 0:46:18# I can do so much
0:46:18 > 0:46:24# But you can do so much more
0:46:24 > 0:46:31# I am only a stepping stone
0:46:31 > 0:46:38# For you to get where you must go
0:46:39 > 0:46:43# And there is nothing I would rather be
0:46:43 > 0:46:47# So put your weight on me
0:46:47 > 0:46:55# Na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na-na-na
0:46:55 > 0:47:02# I am your protector
0:47:03 > 0:47:10# I am not your pretender
0:47:10 > 0:47:14# I will try
0:47:14 > 0:47:18# I will not lie
0:47:18 > 0:47:28# I will not cry too much in front of you
0:47:30 > 0:47:34# I have been really, really sad
