Icarus is an excellent song and the Nic Jones version is particularly good. Do you know anything about Anne Lister? Despite being a keen folk fan I know absoloutely nothing about her.
Adam, Nice work, truly lovely. You're quite fortunate to be studying with Martin; I'd love to, but North Carolina is a bit far away... My next project is to learn Martin's "The Company You Keep"; do you happen to know the tuning for that one?
stonegill (Kevin Gill), Are you in NC? I live in Oxford NC, outside of Durham. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be close enough to study with Martin Simpson?
I signed up on his website and who knows, maybe I'll get an email with a concert schedule near us here in the U.S. of A. That would be a real special day. Can't wait to go back to Europe and make a stop near where he will be playing. Inspiration and more...
i keep waiting for the door to slam open behind him and break his nice guitar. But really, excellent playing. I thought i was the only martin simpson fan for the longest. You do him justice.
This is beautiful, you look like you're really enjoying your music. I've seen some of your other videos too and they're great. Nice to hear some Martin Simpson. And as everyone else says, nice guitar. This is such a great song too.
Thats it! I'm booking some proper lessons. Your brilliant playing has inspired me! I have just started learning and have listened to and seen Martin since the 70's (yes - I'm THAT old)
Icarus has always been a favourite of mine. Its delicious.
i had to pause the freight and salvage martin simpson dvd to watch this, thank you very much sir! this song bear a great emotional meaning to me so it means alot, great job
I can sing it if you can play it! garyh2462@gmail.com

Very little. I know she's Welsh and many of her songs are based on ancient mythology, but that's about it!

That was really great I'd love to try and learn it - what tuning are you using?
m1lestogo 3 years ago
Thanks, the tuning is CGCGCD (low to high).
You can buy the TAB from Martin's website if you want to save the trouble of transcribing it yourself.
Good luck.
