Praises Of A Mountain Hare by Robin Williamson

Robin Williamson performs here on harp with Howard Skempton on accordion. The hare images include some wonderful charcoal drawings by Sligo artist, Heidi Wickham. No web site, but do google Heidi to find out which galleries are stocking her art all over Ireland.

This is a lovely recording, and is not on any of the Robin Williamson albums I know... I wonder where it comes from?

@GilesConradWatson Its a one off live recording not put onto any album. There is a beautiful version on Robin's Iron Stone CD on ECM, comments will not let me post a link, and I think its on iTunes, Amazon etc.

@GilesConradWatson Robin and Howard met, never met before, and an hour or so later did a single take of this, and that's it :-) Its a Seamus Heaney poem that Robin altered a bit.
