Palimpsest Festival - Alasdair Roberts 'Willie Leonard'

Nice rendition of a classic song. I have the same song, but in a different rendition on my channel, as performed by Nic Jones. That version is called 'The Lakes of Shilin'. It is quite different from this, although I don't know which arrangement pre-dates which (not that that matters,but I'm always curious to the history of classic folk songs).

He opened the 22nd for Joanna Newsom in Stockholm and really got me, well almost hooked...he's got a great good feeling when playing his guitar...a lot of re-tuning, only thing may be that it was a little bit too much of the whisky, sisters, sailors, wine and sea in the lyrics, at least for me not being/understanding the scotish....anyway great clip!
