Eliza Carthy - Colourblind

[Rharris9585]

I saw Eliza on television performing a song called 'Colourblind' (or 'I Used to Be Colourblind') on her accordion at Glastonbury this year and have been searching hard to find the song since, but without much success. Is anyone able to give me a weblink for the song, or at least the lyrics? Or tell me which of her CD's I can find this song on?

Thanks!

this was posted on a forum of a fansite...she's not recorded it yet by the looks...

Hi the song in question was I Used to be Colourblind. It was composed by Irving Berlin and as you rightly say performed by Fred Astaire. This was my first introduction to Lisa's music and I was hooked straight away! My next exposure was the BBC Four Sessions concert...wow!

I am buying as much of your stuff as I can now Lisa and hope to make it to on of your gigs soon. Your synergy with Dad on The Bonny Fisherboy was inspirational!

Hope that you will record it someday soon.

Best wishes
