Looking forward to seeing you at the Chesterfield Folk Club in January 2012

This includes one of the finest interpretations of Sweet Thames Flow Softly I've heard, and what delightful guitar. Thank you so much for posting this.

@josephatthecoop - You're very welcome and I do agree with you! His interpretation is beautiful - the vocal so restrained yet full of emotion. Glad you enjoyed it.

I like the very free style in which he sings "Sweet Thames Flow Softly" with the gentle rhythmic accompaniment on the guitar . Thanks for posting.

I believe Ewan wrote "The First Time" for Peggy Seegar

Very many thanks indeed, Mr Vine, for uploading this. I've been wanting to hear this again for over 25 years!

[LilacVine]

@Fibbing01 You're very welcome. Glad you all enjoyed it.

Me and my wife had this as our song as we left the church after getting marrried to the first song on here. Lovely.

Beautifully sung,as always. What an icon in the Folk world and an example to all singers, to sing tunefully with expression. His secret seems to be not trying too hard. With a voice of such quality, he doesn't have to...

[LilacVine]

Thanks. Dave is still performing. Try and get the chance to see him. He's very entertaining.

Great voice, love the way the guitar comes from nowhere and blends into the second song. Nice images too!
