Jim Moray - Early One Morning, BBC Radio2 Folk Awards 2004

Performance of 'Early One Morning' at the BBC Folk Awards in 2004. Taken from the album 'Sweet England' which won Best Album that year.

The backing film was specially made by Nick Whitehouse (at the time lighting director for Coldplay) and projected so it would appear to be one scene from the front, although this doesn't come across very well on camera. A valiant effort though!

Five years later we played again at the same event with even more people on stage - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbzefMQt2o0

If you look carefully you can see Stephen Fry chuckling at the end...

@lewisslade thanks... that was probably what I was going for at the time! I loved their first album and played it to death around 2004/5.

I remember watching this when it was televised; was a breath of fresh air! As a (very) amateur fiddler I also have to say the strings were truly beautiful.
