Used to hear Andy Kershaw play this track about 10 or 12 years ago. Had forgotten about her. My loss! A unique voice and a gifted talent. And what a backing group.
I love all the perfomances on this Leeds Concert. In fact, I find they are richer and more "sparking" than alot of the recorded stuff. But you can't hide her beautiful spirit and artistry on either!
The best folk singer we have in the UK, lovely person lovely voice, great players with her. Go on for ever Kate. Good old England. From Peter, Abingdon near Oxford.
there is no beauty that has not some strangeness to its proportions...................alas i am at pains to discover such.................dreams seldom look nor sound quite so entrancing
These are the most hilarious lyrics ever, I love how it's completely obscene but pretending to be just a jolly knight-slaying-a-dragon story: brilliant!
hello! i was wondering if anybody had the guitar chords for this song- i'm not at the stage where i can recognise them but i'd love to be able to play this!! its such a nice song, if anybody does have them please do share- they are nowhere on the internet. :(
I've seen the music but it somehow didn't fit with the song. The problem I think is that Kate and her guitarist at the time of this recording used an odd open tuning which I know can be found on the internet somewhere. I think if you look for the chords for The Jolly Ploughboys, you will find a site with her bizzare tuning.
If you'd seen her live you wouldn't think she was sad when she sang, in fact her chuckle is one of the most loveable things about her, and appears quite alot on stage :)
Why a 'thumbs down'? It actually is about having sex with a large ugly woman, its a traditional English folk song, I have sung it on stage, I am not lying :(
If you like the song, why don't you try out Wheeler Streets version? Its jolly - they are a small group from Cambridge, the're very talented! Im going to put their music on my account soon if you can't find it :)
If it's possible, she's even more enthralling live, best female vocalist the UK ever produced. If this is how folk looks for the future, get me an arran and prepare my left lug for an index finger (Kate's hopefully)
My Dad also introduced me to Kate's music and ever since, I have listened to it daily. What an amazing talent she has. Good to see that Britain can still produce folk artists of this calibre. Best thing since Nick Drake in my opinion.
I love this song, i think kate has a brilliant voice and her songs are fantastic. i first heard the song "our town" from the album "sleepless" when my dad was playing it and i have loved her music ever since. Thank you so much for uploading this!
I first heard this song at school. My headteacher played this as walking in music for the special praise assembly every Friday! I haven't heard it for 7 years and it's as good as I remember!!! Thanks for posting this :-)
Very unusual to have an english singer sing with such a beautiful folk voice. It is wonderful to hear her resurrect many of the old style english melodies. Lovely stuff.
Been to a few of Kates shows. Excellent music and a great atmosphere. If you get chance to see her, do it before she starts popping out kids and staying at home !! This is taken from her live from leeds dvd which is great too, loads of extras. Wasn't too keen on her and ronan keatings song at first but his version of 'all over again' with some lanky american brunette was awful compared to his and Kates.
I love her music. The live recordings I have seen are not as good as what I always hear on the CD's. I believe a lot of it is nerves, because she tends to rush. Excellent music though, I love it!
She is truely amazing. Went to see her in Poole 13/10/07. Wow! Lovely lass. We stayed in the same hotel as them and bumped into a few band members. I was star struck! Hubby just laughed!!
She is referred to as the voice of an angel. Very true. I had goose bumps the whole way through the concert. I wanna see her again!
I love the way that when after she has performed a song she stands back from the mic and looks unworthy of her applause. So talented yet so humble.

I suppose it depends on whether you want a theatrical performance or a musical performance.
