The Bantam Cock – The Corries (Upscaled & Enhanced Vintage Footage)

Описание: “The Bantam Cock” is a traditional Scottish folk song known for its bold humour and symbolic imagery. The song uses the figure of a small but defiant rooster as a metaphor for confidence, pride, and resilience, themes that recur throughout Scottish folk music.

Often interpreted as a song of youthful bravado, it reflects social attitudes toward masculinity and reputation within traditional communities. Like many folk songs of its type, it balances humour with a deeper commentary on self-image and social standing.

The song survives through oral tradition and remains popular for its memorable refrain and playful tone.

This is a performance of “The Bantam Cock” by The Corries, extracted from the 1987 television series "The Corries". Selected extracts from this series were released on VHS under the title "A Vision of The Corries", with the programme later issued in full on DVD as "A Complete Vision of The Corries". This video comes from our upscaled and restored edition, with the original footage processed to improve picture quality while preserving the character and atmosphere of the original broadcast.
