Folk singers please help

The song I'm interested in is Bold Riley. Love this song! But all I can find out on the Internet of 'White Stocking Day' is that white stockings were a fashion of the time. But what is "White Stocking Day" specifically?

Trying to figure out where to find a song "Deep in Cider"

I was listening to a song a while back that I can only partially remember. It was a rauchy pub kind of song. I remember the main refrain reapeated "I'm deep in cider" in reference to a young woman who had invited him to go swimming in her father's cider distillery. For some reason google hasn't shown me anything like it. If anyone could help me find it, I would be eternally grateful.

Recommendations around Folk vst/plugins?

I don't know exactly if this is the right sub for this question, but I really want to develop my folk instrumentation. I know that DecentSampler has some amazing Folk samples and a great interface. Also Firelabs has some great strings. I'm curious what some recommendations you suggest. I use it to make Slavic house and now and then for trap beats with heavy Folk influence.

Let me know

Can anyone identify?

Below is my transcription of a snippet hummed by a friend. He says it is a popular "Celtic" song, but I think that may also cover Scottish or Irish folk. Either way, knowing him I'm fairly sure it would have English lyrics, not Gaelic.

Any ideas what it might be?

FWIW, QbH apps, like Shazam, had no idea.

Best Music Mastering Courses and Engineers for Folk/Acoustic Genres

Hey all!

I'm used to mix my own muric and recently I started looking to improve my mastering skills, specifically for folk and more acoustic-based genres. I’ve found that a lot of mastering tutorials and courses are geared towards electronic or heavily produced music, which isn't quite what I'm after.

Does anyone have recommendations for mastering courses that focus on organic sounds like folk, singer-songwriter, or acoustic genres? Or any mastering engineers whose work I should study who specialize in these areas?

Thanks in advance for your help

Looking for a song

I heard a folk song years ago and have no idea who it's by or what it's called. All I recall is that the song is about a man marrying a woman, he then rides to a cliff and tries to throw her off, and she manages to make him fall instead.

Any idea?
