Never heard of Camilla before, but I love this song. Thanks for sharing.

[rosiespole]

[MrPaulolo1b]

Wow!!! Wot a fantastic voice.

[proctophobiaguy]

I think she is wonderful

Will definitely be buying the album

[LauraH0ltt]

Listen also to Belfast Child by Simple Minds - based on the same traditional song. V good also.

@LauraH0ltt

Interesting - I can hear that in my head now!

[YONUMNUTS]

Yo 2slim, Research takes this songs origins to the early 1900s in Ireland. btw - Mark Knopflers version totally excellent as well

[2slimshady]

This is a complete rip off of a Mark Knopfler melody, The Fish & the Bird.

[CareALotsClouds]

Ignorance. 'She Moved Through the Fair' is a traditional song. i.e. it's so old that the writer and composer cannot be traced back. The song was "found" in 1909; no one knows when it was written.

[2slimshady]

Fair enough, I stand corrected CareAL. I am blinded by Knopfler's brilliance.Nice song though.

? Please expand

Woops, no see below - I was replying to the comment made by the chap who seemed to think this tune was plagiarised from a Mark Knopfler song. Comment not directed at you. Don't know why my comment appears twice.

[rosiespole]

fair play, thanks for clearing that up

Gorgeous version of a very fine song. Listen to Barbara Dickson singing this please - best ever version.

[staceyp785]

so amazing makes me shiver lovely voice and lovely singer love u camilla :) xxxx

[g4rcg]

The most haunting song I have heard for a very long time and beutifully sung by her

[mvneste]

A beautiful song beautifully sung. Wonderful natural talent

[actioncomet]

Lovely version of the song,

I hope The problem with the microphone on the SSSSSSS is resolved and this recording is not put out on the album.

[J1G2M3]

I think this was recorded from the radio hence the quality isn't great.

[rosiespole]

It is indeed - and my recording volume was too high so the S's do sound a bit harsh It was a quick fix solution as I couldn't find this anywhere else on tinternet.

[StargateCommando]

LOL You from up nrht lad?

[rosiespole]

damn right & i love gravy

[J1G2M3]

Somewhere in the depths of my record collection I have a haunting version of this song that I've always loved. Camilla's version is even more beautiful. The most incredible voice I think I've ever heard.

[GB4Me1]

Very captivating. Makes you stop what you are doing just to listen - not many singers have that ability

[cjov2]

gorgeous song, and absolutely wonderfully sung. I read about her in the news of the world today and have been looking for her everywhere after hearing this on WU2W. She's stunning as well!!

Totally musically geeky...but the music shown as the picture is in a different time signature to the audio...not that it matters I suppose, but certainly looking forward to hearing more, anyone know when the album's out?

[rosiespole]

A very good spot! This video was literally thrown together in minutes... And as a pianist myself I'm ashamed to say I didn't notice :)

[J1G2M3]

The album is realeased on November 23rd. This song is released as a single on Nov 2nd.

[colette159]

Wonderful voice, beautiful girl :)

[bixter08]

I rather like it sung in 4/4 time! I don't think there was any implication that this is the score of this particular performance. The song is more commonly performed in triple time. Those of us who are musicians will realise - and not care! - and those who are not will be unaware of the discrepancy anyway.

[bixter08]

Delighted to find this on Youtube! I've been trying to find it to buy since hearing it on Terry Wogan's show and being completely transfixed. I've always loved this haunting song but this raises it to a new level; taking it at this very slow tempo really emphasises the exquisite harmonies and C.K.'s purity of tone. I can't wait to buy for it to come out and to hear more from her.

[Slacker1967]

I heard this in the morning being played on the radio at work.

I was stood absolutely still the whole time, absolutely taken away buy this song.

Beautiful. Thank you ;)

[SharingLight]

Absolutely lovely ! I heard this on WU2W & came running down the stairs when I heard these beautiful haunting strains - thought it was Hayley Westenra. Camilla has the same pure quality in her voice. Went looking for Camilla Kerslake and couldn't find anything, then says Terry the next day, it's not released yet! BEAUTIFUL...Thank you for uploading this

[rosiespole]

Everyone is very welcome :)

A beautiful version indeed

[markdspencer]

This music will bring the earth to people

[rosiespole]

not arf mate

[Estalwin]

Thank you! This is a gorgeous haunting version!

[rosiespole]

Agree 100%

Camilla has touched a 33yr old TOG!

[Microhairy]

Thanks for putting this on. What a beautiful voice! Can't wait for the album release.

[rosiespole]

No problem. It's not the best quality, but it will do me before the album!
