Great News - can't wait to hear it!    :D

It could be about Beryl Bryden, as has already been said, but Mark has always enjoyed poking fun at names like Beryl, Mavis and Gladys in a jokey sort of way as he did about the lady on the BBC Radio 1 committee (some Beryl, Mavis or Gladys), so perhaps it's a fun kind of song.   :think

Exciting news indeed :)

I agree that the name of the song might reference to Beryl Bryden. In 1997, Mark wrote a foreword together with George Harrison to a book called Skiffle. Skiffle is, according to Wikipedia, a type of popular music with jazz, blues, folk, and roots influences, usually using homemade or improvised instruments. Originating as a term in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century, it became popular again in the UK in the 1950s, where it was mainly associated with musician Lonnie Donegan and played a major part in beginning the careers of later eminent jazz, pop, blues, folk and rock musicians.



This book talks apparantly about Beryl Bryden and Lonni Donegan, amongst others, and it seems that Beryl was a "master" with the washboard :) There did at some point exist a group called The Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group, where Lonnie had guitar and vocals, Chris Barber played double bass, and Beryl Bryden played the washboard. In the video below, form the TV documentary Lonnie Donegan - This Is Your Life from 1991, you can see the group reunite and play a song from about 8:00 and out :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9vFx-61PeR8

So, I suppose Beryl Bryden is the one "Beryl". Or maybe not? Who knows :) I wonder if it's a skiffle song, anyway :P

I guess it is about her, too. It could also be about the mineral. Some kind of esoteric I Dug Up A Diamond if you like.

LE,
exactly that were just my thoughts.

Here are 3 websites:
in English:

in German:

Wow this is some great news to start the day with!! Very much looking forward to the release. The song title suggests it's not a celtic tune..  ;)

I assume if this song is about musician, so it's likely 'Two Skinny Kids' would be there, too.

Maaaaaaaaaybeeeeee they want to update whole website with a new design and with a track to listen to?

Sounds plausibel to me, I'm wondering when they will do that. Should be logical to do it long before the release date I think, for promotion of the album to increase sales whatsoever(?)

Probably a kind of follow-up to Donegan's Gone.
