Mike Heron 1968

Mike's paean of praise for Robin Williamson recorded in Moseley with daughter Georgia on 10/11/07. I presume he sings this as an answer to all the questions he gets asked about his relationship with Robin. Similarly, the last time I saw Robin, he sang Painting Box and pretty marvellous it was too.

Love this!

Me too. I know it's lo-fi and HD hadn't been invented,

but there's a touching quality about Mike's performance.

Glad you enjoyed it,

All the Best

Must have been a great concert. Wish I was there

Well I still do my share of standing in long queues to get into big arenas, but these small scale gigs are special when one of your big heroes sits at the back and graciously chats to fans and patiently signs autographs for an hour or two and then.... He gets up on stage and sings and plays with a commitment and a passion- just magical.

No ruinous feud? My heart breaks that the complete ISB reunion couldn't seem to be sustainable, but ah! the memories. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, but add dreams, magic and a few flas-backs!

Well said.... No doubt, you'd have enjoyed Robin's performance here in Birmingham with John Renbourn in April. As he was about to sing his first encore, a drunk came staggering in, shouting that the ISB changed her life and demanded he sing "Lay Down my Dear Sister...." so he did.... It was magnificent on all levels but it struck me that he's very happy singing Mike Heron songs. He's a very happy man.
