Fantastic Vintage Fabric of the Week - Goombay Bahamian Song

Goombay Music - Papas Beat the DrumsVintage Moygashel Cotton Fabric

My favorite find of the week is a rare vintage fabric featuring words from a popular Goombay Bahamian song. It is just added and for sale on Revival Fabrics.

In this vintage Moygashel cotton fabric, you'll find the printed words to a popular Goombay Bahamian song, "Goombay Papas beat the drums again, Goombay Mommas havin fun again, Goombays do a wicked dance when they do the Goombay"

Printed on one selvage: Hand Print REGD Design U.K. No451013 (Copyright GT Britain Empire), the other selvage Moygashel Sea Island Cotton. You certainly can't beat the quality Moygashel, a world class fabric manufacturer.

A customer review on Amazon of the album Bahamas: Goombay 1951-195 gives a great description of Goombay Bahamian music.

Original Label from Vintage 60s Moygashel Linen Fabric

It's always fabulous to find a vintage fabric with the original fabric label or fabric hangtag --- valuable information to add to your knowledge base of when a fabric was manufactured, and the manufacturer.

This vintage Irish Moygashel linen fabric came with the original label, letting us know with absolute certainty that it's from one of the finest linen manufacturers in the world.

I read online that Moygashel Linens was bought by Ulster Weavers Apparel from the Lamont Group in 2001.

Find this vintage Moygashel linen fabric, with the original label, is on Revival Fabrics website.
