Widecombe Fair. Steve Knightley (of Show of Hands)

It's not that they're Yanks, it's that they're tools & douchebags who are at a "pub" listening to an "Irish" guy for the "coolness" of it. If it's Yanks like myself who can get it, it'd be a different crowd.

[pachamicah]

why the hell are the yanks laughing? what prats, how off putting for such a serious sad song. sounds terrible compared to the cd, out of tune and yet they are great live.

[MsElloyd]

Nobody really does this as haunting as SOH and it is a shame this is this the only only utube version of this cos the CD version is awesome

[MsElloyd]

Oh god - the yanks have no respect!!!!

This footage just illustrates why pubs in America suck.

[tweedlebeetles]

There *are* no pubs in America.

I really don't know why. Maybe it has something to do with how we're so damned insistent on Prohibition still, so we sequester it away from "the children".

Huh. Maybe I do know why.

[Mickyfyn]

utterly fabulous

[slivererific]

someone needs to post a proper video of the album version of this song

[DieKolkrabe]

What's wrong with this one?

It shows the guys in their elements

[slivererific]

sounds quality sucks, and its just steve

[zofolkie]

Tom Robinson song stood on a chair, Martyn Joseph on the table and Steve on the Bar, great gig, a sold out riverside studios all squeezed into the bar waiting for the seating to be declared safe again, other bands would have just sat in there dressing room, these guys gave us a treat!

Shame about the bar staff and their espresso machine though:-)

[sonofbignose]

Could have been worse!

Wish I'd been there...

[HashRouge]

Does anyone know the guitar chords for this?

I love the way Steve interacts with the audience!

[or8m8]

play along and youll find em

[samharrison]

chords are roughly.. Em9, G, Dsus2, C, Am, D in that order, repeated until the song ends (they change slightly at the end)

[slivererific]

i know em, dont think its in the right key though

[mariongloria]

Saw this live in Rugby. Didn't know him before, but now so impressed. Awesome live.

[rickmayers]

Where is this?

[iwillcatchyou]

Hammersmith Riverside Studios, the final night of Faith Folk & Anarchy tour 2003/4?. The audience seating collapsed and the guys entertained us in the bar while the seats were mended. Martyn Joseph stood on a table to sing and then Steve climbed on the bar to outdo him!! It was awesome

[ratelect]

Says a lot about how SoH work, this. Actually a regular part of their act is doing one song fully acoustic (no PA at all), which takes some doing to put across in a full-size concert hall! Kind of to prove a point, I guess, that they're not dependent on the gear to sound good. :-)

[mishmannah]

Thanks for posting this!! I'm looking forward to seeing Steve and Phil later this year...
