Listening to that did me the world of good. Beautifully played, and your voice is perfect for folk.

@wesmatron Thanks very much. I will be re-recorgin this and uploading some more stuff shortly, so it should be better soon (I hope).

Icarus is an excellent song and the Nic Jones version is particularly good. Do you know anything about Anne Lister? Despite being a keen folk fan I know absoloutely nothing about her.

[TheAdamGray]

Very little. I know she's Welsh and many of her songs are based on ancient mythology, but that's about it!

@TheAdamGray I'm genuinely looking forward to hearing what you have in store for us.

[ChordCluster]

brilliant playing!

[TheAdamGray]

Thanks, the tuning is CGCGCD (low to high).

You can buy the TAB from Martin's website if you want to save the trouble of transcribing it yourself.

Good luck.

That was really great I'd love to try and learn it - what tuning are you using?
