Do any of your guitars come with a guarantee that I'll be able to play them as well as you do? Brilliantly performed. Thanks for the upload. Can I request Nottamun Town Return? It's in much the same vein.

Thanks. Can't guarantee that any guitar order would improve playing, but it definitely helps. As it happens someone picked up their new guitar yesterday and said he'd already found new possibilities for his playing opening up, with the tone and response. Like an artist finding a new colour!

I think to play like Steve you would have to have his hands grafted on, perhaps a head transplant to move them about properly. Either that or plenty of practise. Will pass on comments to him.

Cheers Bill

Brilliant song brilliantly played. Nice guitar too. Any chance of being told the tuning?

Sorry about taking so long to get back to you. I'm not so great with the old social networking stuff. Contacted Steve and he tells me that low to high it's DADGBD. Cheers Bill

Mike Harding played the song yesterday. Credit crisis part of folklore now. Excellent song and guitar playing.

This is a brilliant song - reminds me a bit of Martin Simpson too.

Folk music is going through a bit of a revival at the moment but hardly anyone is writing angry / political songs like this.

Hard to believe this was written before the credit crisis!
