This guy is a fine folk singer ...this song was popular at Dublin ballad revival sessions in the early 1960s....Mick Moloney , I think sang it,
-
To have this strong and mature a voice at such a young age is amazing.

@joeygsmom: Martin is a Londoner, with some Irish ancestry I understand. But I don't see the connection with Scotland here - the song is English, so is the singer, and the accent in which it is being sung.

@neohip troublemaker. lol.
but surely...one can sort of *become* Scottish, by assimilation? Much like, a born Londoner might *become Irishness* if he is dedicated enough, and is accepted as so. You know what I mean.

@joeygsmom He is a genuine Englishman, born and bred in the Capital no less!
I think you are being confused by his accent which has changed over the years, especially when he lived in the country, but he has always been English, even when singing "British" songs.
( That should stir a hornet’s nest! )

According to Wikipedia (so not altogether reliable) this song concerns the Thirty Years War 1618–1648. The pictures in this video are more Georgian/Napoleonic era.

@holyhackjackson8 That this song is about the thirty years war is highly questionable. It is more likely to have been about Marlborough's campaigns or the Seven Years War. However, there is no evidence for any particular war. British armies were certainly engaged in High Germany during the 1700's. The illustrations, though, are just depictions of armies going to war and not literal interpretations of the song.
