Isn't this simply the most beautiful and comforting song! I grew up with the Corries music and this was always my favourite.I had this played at my Father's funeral 3 years ago and there wasn't a dry eye in the place.So sad that Roy was taken so soon,he has always been a hero of mine.Hope you enj...

can you play something else with those lovely magumbas out? say,All the Single Ladies by Beyonce,or anything fast really.I'll check again in a couple of weeks,thanks.

Beautiful song,saw her perform this live on Jools Holland show and was blown away.Such a melancholic feel,and her voice sounds so mature and soft,makes me think of my loved ones.Thanks for putting it on.

Hey Benny,Great job! Roy would be impressed and proud I'm sure! Are you pleased with the sympathetic strings?They sound good from this end.I make that 4 necks on your instrument,are you planning any more-haha. Well done mate,great to hear that lovely song again,cheers,Colin.

By the way,everyone who loves the Combolins should check out Benny Tetteh-Lartey,another Scotsman who's carrying the baton now with his own version of the Combolin called a Combuitar which he built himself.Check out his song'Lift Your Wings',it's beautiful.

In my top 2 Corries songs,what a beautiful tune and what a beautiful voice.This song makes me weep every time I hear it.I've missed you ever since you were taken from us Roy,but your music will live forever.Nice to see so much genuine comments from people,what a talent the Corries were.

Hi Benny,That would be great! I meant to tell you my favourite Corries song is Garten Mother's Lullaby,also Derwentwater's Farewell-both on 'The Very Best Of The Corries' album.Did you write this song? It's lovely! Hope to hear from you soon,cheers,Colin.

The instruments are Combolins,invented and hand made by Roy Williamson of The Corries,it's a combination of a guitar,mandolin and another version is a combo of guitar and Spanish Bandurria. There is a musician called Benny Tetteh-Lartey who was inspired by Roy and his Combolins and made his own v...
