From the 1979 BBC TV special on the Albion Band. Here they're rehearsing the song that would eventually become the title track to the classic Home Service album a few years later. Many of the same musicians are learning the song in this clip - John Tams, Bill Caddick, Graeme Taylor, Michael Gregory etc, along with Ashley Hutchings, Phil Pickett and so on.

  • Oh, I should have known it was written by John Tams! Thanks lots!

  • One of John Tams compositions

  • I just keep on listening to this because it gives me a chance to see so many of the people I admire so much. Love Bill Caddick here, and if anyone ever wanted the deffinitive look of a folk musician, surely it is John Tams here?

    Does anyone know who wrote this song, please?

  • @gaspode I know...got tickets for the Putney gig last week.....a few more non-festival dates would be nice !!

  • @openfold And they've found an old recording from the Cambridge Folk Festival back in 1980-something. AND they're recording a live album on this year's tour. Couldn't get any better!

  • Rough as a badger's backside, but what a great thing to hear!

  • The Home Service are touring next year !!!! Wooop!!!!

  • @sirpatrickspens I was at the Greenwich Town hall gig! I also saw them at the Half Moon pub in Herne Hill.

  • The marvellous John Tams. This song needs re releasing, it's politically spot on for the UK right now.

  • Possibly one of the best songs ever written. I was lucky enough to see The Home Service twice, in 1985 at Cropredy and again at Greenwich Town Hall, a real shame they called it a day. Thanks for posting!
