@banjodag many thanks .

Isn't lovely to hear an English folk sung in a proper English accent, rather than that bizarre part West Country, part Lancashire, part God-knows-what accent that modern folkies use?

[MorrisManDanceMan]

very nice song thanks for putting it on

[minutegongcoughs]

@MorrisManDanceMan There's been no copyright hassle on this track (yet). How we missed a fine group like this first time round is an example of what other great music is yet to be discovered. This genre goes for big bucks these days.

[MorrisManDanceMan]

@minutegongcoughs that is so true folk songs like this are so good and again thank you for putting this on

[Friskus22]

hello minutegongcoughs

do you know if thisis reissued on cd?

[minutegongcoughs]

@Friskus22 As legit goes I'm not so sure.

This track by Folkal point is amazing. The wind that shakes the barley by Gallery is also a wonderful album on Midas.

"Touch and Go" by ELPowell utilises the same melody.

[klippspringer]

bit too straight. typical for folk after 71

[enablien]

Wow, it sends shivers down the back of my neck! No wonder each original LP is selling for thousands.

[arzagard]

Great song! And the Deirdre (Dutch folk rock 1978) version is also awesome.

[huxylady]

What a fantastic version of one of my favourite English songs. I have a particular soft spot for Lovely Joan as Vaughan Williams collected it from a singer in my native county of Norfolk. Listening to it always cheers me up when I get a bit nostalgic or homesick now that I live in big ol' Texas !

[dearlilith]

thank you for this, such great storytelling..

one of my favorites is

Victoria dines alone

[lazymornings]

loved the 'clifton bridge' cover

[lazymornings]

Bristol is a cool place, my mother lives there...as I'm moving to Scotland,I'' see less of hear....life is a bitch, when you have a scottish girl-friend,lol

I'm not sure what 'folk' means...but this has a nice medievil theme about it.

[minutegongcoughs]

I only have it on CDR & Flash. The LP on Midas is so rare and worth, so I'm informed over £1000. It is a terrific piece of music.

[darthmagnum]

This is just amazing. I absolutely love it! can't wait to hear more of your fine offerings. I wonder what became of this amazing folk band.

[minutegongcoughs]

Cherie Musialik was still performing in Bristol a few years ago. As a duo I was told for limited gigs. I was passed that info from a source on the internet.
