[panzerdragoonSS]

hagman and harris were my favorite supporting characters. i almost cried when they died at waterloo.

[caqeua1]

swift and bold

[KScott9806]

I think you should make clear in the description that this is not the actual regimental march of 3rd Battalion the Royal Green Jackets. I would've been none the wiser had my Uncle not actually served in the 3rd Battalion himself for near a decade.

[bennie777]

@KScott9806 asshole...

[KScott9806]

@bennie777 I think the Gents deserve a bit of respect, don't you?

[bennie777]

@KScott9806

Sorry mate but I've been up and down this comments list four times and can't find one by me, though obviously it's caused some upset, care to enlighten me?

[MDWimages]

[stefansmom]

omg i get the shivers every time i hear this song!!! John Tams is incredible

[BorsBaledwyr]

Feel slightly annoyed when he was clearly signalling for the crowd to join him and no one did... :(

[KeromorV2]

@BorsBaledwyr Wear headphones, you can hear them singing, its because the camera is before them, its only picking up the sound ahead of it.

[jimbo9580]

john tams is a genius..!

[INUIT3333]

I am a German, i LOVE those brave British/Irish/Scotish 95th Rifles!

God damn, they showed the french, how a good shootist a RIFLEMAN is!

Thank You"DAN HAGMAN"

[humptyflippingdumpty]

One of the best voices in Folk Music, a rather good actor too.

[Arts9974]

Awesome voice. 

[parody101pen15]

Fav chosen man except Harper of course

[SamNelux]

Got to love Hagman! best shot in the company :) 5 stars!

[JohnTraviss]

The only way this could get any better is if he starts shilling out brown paper and paraffin after the song.

[SamNelux]

@JohnTraviss hahaha best brown paper and paraffin oil lol Love it

[iamstarstuff001]

[diqn4o]

Sharpe's Waterloo was the saddest for me, when Hagman and Harris died :(

[1964cooldude]

@diqn4o only because of that pompous prince of bloody orange



[tollerancewithpride]

@diqn4o nah Sharpe's battle with perkins death, saddest film. Waterloo's probably saddest book though.

[ThePerson158]

@tollerancewithpride Aye, aye. What was sad and shocking for me though was the quite quick and immediate death of Teresa :( at the end of Sharpe's Enemy. Hakeswill for Teresa though...

[tollerancewithpride]

@ThePerson158 Yeah that was pretty strange. Mind you I think Hakeswill is a great villain and it wasn't the same without him. Sharpe fought hakeswill for most of his career and then didn't get to kill him 9in the film, I think he did in the book but can't remember) So that annoyed m a bit.

[fathairyarab]

@diqn4o yeah man i cant watch it.

[kyral210]

I miss Sharpe! It was my favourite childhood program by far!

[Ausworthar]

CHOSEN MEN!

John Tams is such a rare talent. An incredible musician & a damned good actor. I first saw him in the first Sharpe's episode which was too, by accident & wish his material was out there more. I think a lot of people are genuinely missing out. I've been & will be a big fan of both. Thanks John for all of your songs. Great stuff.

[birchs100]

hey, i've been trying to download this song but i cant find it does anyone know wat its called and where i can get it???

[1815ish]

Great voice.Just started watching the complete Sharpe series,had forgot how good they were.

[joanne2011fr]

Brilliant, love it x

[WeissDraconis]

@Stargazer88: You have a point.

However, while it does capture soldiering of that era, the sentiment of the soldier of all times was summed up in Sharpe's Mission, over a sketch by Clarence Shellington, which he titled "Thinking of Tomorrow's Battle".

Sharpe said it should be called Thinking of Going Home.

[Stargazer88]

This song has a essence of soldiering in it, very moving.

It is not a tribute to war or a glorifying piece of stupidity.

It is sincere song....... In my opinion at least.

[mattcorrabaun]

wonderful love the man tams is amazing

[adamt188]

he is amazing best masketman going and love the good old sharpe

[celticdollface]

Absolutely superb!

[tSp289]

Is it just me who gets annoyed when it's *so* hard to find traditional songs or native chants without cheesy synths and anachronistic orchestral bits?

[nickwhitmore]

@tSp289 So true. I have a real love for traditional folk songs, especially military and sea faring ones, and they always get modernised, which reduces the feeling of the piece. John Tams voice alone bears so much more weight to it than a synthed modern version.

[caley956]

@nickwhitmore This very song has been "modernised" by John Tams and the tune changed, by both Tam and Dominic Muldowney. And you cannot get more tasteful than Barry Coope's playing. There is really no such thing as an unchanged "traditional" folk song. Every time somebody performs one of these songs - Mr Reservoir Butler, Harry Cox, Kathleen Ferrier, Chumbawamba, Jon Boden - it's changed. That's the nature of the beast.

[JimBell1984]

@tSp289 indeed, English folk was spoiled by folk rock and the socialist elements of the the 60s/70s revival and they took little care of the sound....we need to take it back to the accoustic!!! this is still good though

[irishangler]

Always wanted to know the words to this song. What beautiful version and what a beautiful voice.

[focuselp]

Great version...great singer...:)

[activist405]

Still an amazing singer and this version is the best yet.

[hamish542]

Pure class!
