Kate Rusby 'Village Green Preservation Society'

[krakatoa1200]

Great cover of a Kinks Classic

[SizeTenBiscuit]

No one plays it like the Kinks though...

[Irenfyr]

Multicultural societies dont work, which I believe is what's happened. This is NOT a racist comment, as our country states that no views or religion have precidence, everyone loses. All racial and social groups lose their voices, and no one is happy with that. Its could be that a crucifix worn by a stewardess is deemed "offensive" or an asian schoolgirl being told she can't wear her religious bracelet. We all lose our sense of National identity and pride. No more England..just a failing UK

[SizeTenBiscuit]

@Irenfyr Hear Hare hear...

[Irenfyr]

What happened to our England? it's all fubar now...

[gerdenshed]

@Irenfyr

Not entirely but some areas yes, fubar'd lol...

Mark....

[TheSami1973]

@Irenfyr I just googled Fubar....why if we all feel the same have we let England come to the sorry state it's in?? I do think it's Fubar when I see around me everyday how it's changed and not for the best....

[adventussaxonum]

@joelsecretan - it definitely IS the Victoria Cross that is shown!

[Mimmmo86]

I love this English melancholy irony

[gladyshilda1]

Love this song. Send's me back to the summer days of my childhood growing up an English village in the 50's and 60's. God save nostalgia.

[imjamm]

I think new zealand would love her

[Topographer]

I'm an anglofile from Norway.

Take care of England, please.

[TheSami1973]

@Topographer There are plenty of us that are trying to save our Country thank goodness. :o)

[bigbagpussfan]

she has the best voice for this song! love Jam and Jerusalem

[gerdenshed]

The lyrics say "God save the George Cross and all those awarded them" That's not a reference to the flag.... Yes the medal is the Victoria cross... Well done ;0)

Mark....

[w1h2i3t4h5a6m7]

i stand corrected.

[callumbryden]

Not unpleasant but really -- no one but Ray can sing this one.

[Rushynet]

@callumbryden I'm of the opinion that she's done a good job on this one. SHe's rather easy on the eye too if you ask me. ;)

[tbirdlew]

I am an American, and this song makes me love England.

[yorkie6687]

@tbirdlew Thank you my friend, sadly most of our contry is ruled by Muslims! Steve king! NFSE.

[StarringHilary]

this is theme for jam and jerusalem. :) i'm soo proud to be british. X

[gerdenshed]

@StarringHilary

Me too ;-)

Mark....

[Rushynet]

@gerdenshed Me too!

[justbequiet1]

Fabulous and evocative! It inspires in me a strange mix of euphoria and sadness at losing a country I loved.... I think our England is fading away.

I'm Welsh also, but the song is essentially British. And the video tugged hard at my heart. Well done.

[gerdenshed]

I couldn't agree more my friend, thank you ;-)

Mark....

[mrcook87]

i love this song and all i say is there well allways be a england

[collypink]

BIGGGG Kate Rusby fan right here! I have seen her three times live, i keep saying ill do i cover of underneath the stars...i should get on and do it.

[gerdenshed]

Thank you my friend ;-)

Mark....

[GMDPDKD]

I love being English! Rule Britannia and god save the queen!

[54hitch54]

i love the oringinal 2 great video she rocks!!!x

[Cader1dris]

I love being English! I mean yeah there are ugly parts of England, but this video shows some of the most beautiful places!

[mark32d]

I totally agree. I am very proud to be british.

[MORGANTHEMOON1]

Gerdenshed awsome we love this in Wales. great English folk music

[gerdenshed]

Thank you ;-)

Mark...

[superwelshwizard]

Kate has a super voice, but the imaging is wrong. A Victoria Croos is shown and not a George Cross, lager glass and not a real ale glass, LAX theatre shown, what's Dracula got to do with this?

Apart from that Gardenshed, well done, every block should have a shed !

[gerdenshed]

Fu Manchu, Moriarty and Dracula probably lol... That's a schooner and Old Speckled Hen is sometimes sold in them. Lager wouldn't have a head like that now would it ;-)

Thank you for watching my friend, it's a great song isn't it ;-)

Mark....

[leeperryismerry]

Good version but I prefer The Original. :P

[gareth79cardiff]

Mark...

[Stellasgarden]

The lyrics to this song are very good, deeper than most would credit it... This young lady has a beautiful voice... I have heard her a time or two, but don't own anything by her, did put her on my list...

[nannerbj]

Just love Kate - she is a great singer - we will excuse her collaboration with Ronan Keating as a weak moment !!!

[gerdenshed]

I'm glad you liked it :-)

[Gathol]

btw samuel langhorn clemmons, aka mark twain. adventures of huck finn my absolute fave of his.

[Gathol]

o.k. now i have to ask, at 1:19 is that from the movie where charles laughton plays the barrister of the guilty man? and: something about Kate's voice and this song when i got to 1:19 the very first time i thot, gingerbread house. i can' t shake it even knowing that's a german story.

[gerdenshed]

Definately not lol... Its Old Mother Riley shows the Commons how to make a proper speech in the film Old Mother Riley MP (1938)

Mark...

[Gathol]

dangit! man i suck, ok arthur lucan, but i do know Christopher Lee and Dr. Fu Manchu, portrayed here by warner oland perhaps? or is numbuh wun son wrong?

[Gathol]

Kate was born in the same town as my favorite band began! woooo woooo!

[Gathol]

1:27 is sherlock holmes yes? but who is holmes? i must delve this.

[gerdenshed]

He was the magnificently named actor, Basil Rathbone.... He was the original and best Sherlock :-)

Mark...

[Gathol]

naw, it was? was a very young Sir Basil, if i may say, and i agree. he epitomizes Sherlock in my minds eye. :) but i must admit i'd not seen him that young to recognize him, even with only one photo.

[gerdenshed]

We were all young once lol...

Mark :-)

[Gathol]

kewel english slide show, i'd have a pint were i in a pub. reckon i'll have to settle for some miller high life, and some sprigs. lol

[blinddrunkal]

Lovely, Mark! Just to be a bit of a pedant....it is a Ray Davies song! all the best - Lord Snooty.

[gerdenshed]

Dear Lord.... If I'd have put Ray Davis, you'd have said "But that's Kate Rusby singing it" lol... What's a boy to do? How's the weather up there in North Wales my friend, it's bloody cold down South :-)

Mark....

[blinddrunkal]

Hi Mark......so who really lead the pedant's revolt?? Still a bit chilly round these parts! Seriously good video anyway.

all the best; your friend :-) Alan.

[gerdenshed]

Englands experienced few revolts but the most serious was the Pedant's Revolt which took place in Feb 2009. A violent system of punishments for offenders was usually enough to put off pedant's from causing trouble.

From Marks book of historical (histerical) nonsense.... :-)

[roadbikephoto]

What do you mean 'down south'- you're up north to me matey.x.

[gerdenshed]

??????
