@corpsemunger Although Scholl does a lovely rendition of this song, the version used here is by countertenor Alfred Deller and guitarist Desmond Dupre.
@marmadukesymesparker actually - i have only heard "raggle taggle gypsies" sung by Andreas Scholl (other than this recording) and i have only heard a little Andreas scholl (as my preferred "genre" of music is rock)
so, to my ears he almost sounds exactly the same as Andreas Scholl
I was able to catch the other 7 eps on tv recently but somehow missed this one. Great stuff. Simon seems in a better mood towards his wife than some of the later ones.
Minty has taught me to not gift my kitchen essentials to my new daughter-in-law - she'll never forgive me.

@corpsemunger Check out more from Alfred Deller for some more folk songs. But from when he was younger and could still sing.

I love how Simon acts like a little bitch when Barry shows him up that he's not so uncouth as he perceives him to be.
