Courtney Wicks "Nancy Spain"

Details

Description

Scilly Cove Records Proprietor, record producer Greg Wells, along with Head of A & R Ryan Gates, and Sound Engineers Robert Kelly and Mark Feener are proud to present the 2nd single from Courtney Wicks’ debut album, "Love, Me" - scheduled for release in the coming months of 2023.

Courtney’s second single from the album is the classic Irish love song “Nancy Spain”. First made popular by the legendary Christy Moore when he released the song in 1976, this song became a staple in Newfoundland and Labrador when The Masterless Men released their version of the chilling tune in 1993 on their album, “Ode to Age”.

In this beautiful rendition of Nancy Spain, Courtney Wicks (Vocals) is accompanied by Rowan Sherlock (Fiddle) and Greg Wells (Piano) to produce a sound inspired by that of the Celtic performers of Cape Breton who have long paired the fiddle and piano for an unparalleled romantic melody.

The music video directed by Stephen Green and edited by Brad Tuck, shot at night in a dimly lit 120-year-old Trinity Hall in Winterton, Newfoundland, Canada, sets the vibe and tone for which Courtney’s debut album casts.

On this Feb 14th Valentine’s Day, please enjoy the second offering from Scilly Cove Records: “Courtney Wicks – Nancy Spain”.
