I know that this was a long time ago, but you don't happen to have the second song she sung? I love this so much and would love to hear the other one too :)

Sadly, I don't have Martha's second song (Grey Funnel Line). Everything I have from the Rogue's Gallery is up on YouTube already. Glad you enjoyed Lowlands Away!

I think the Sandy Dillon number was Leave Her Johnny. Totally brill. Longing to hear it again too. Nice video thanks.

That's correct. Sandy also sang Bully In The Alley with Ed Harcourt & Gavin Friday, a clip of which is included in my Rogue's Gallery compilation video.

This was a very amazing evening! Thanks for posting this. Favourite moment was probably Neil Hannon being upstaged by a saw - and this comes from a huge Divine Comedy fan!!

This song - Lowlands - is awesome. Alasdair Roberts does a cracking version of it.
