Darwin Song Project Concert
Shrewsbury, March 19th 2009

The Earl of Darwin's Farewell / Save a Place
written by Stu Hanna, Jez Lowe, Emily Smith
performed by Emily Smith, Stu Hanna, Jez Lowe and Rachael McShane

In March 2009 eight folk singer/songwriters gathered together for a week long songwriting residential in rural Shropshire to create songs that had a relevance and resonance with Charles Darwin.

The eight artists were Chris Wood, Karine Polwart, Stu Hanna, Rachael McShane, Krista Detor, Emily Smith, Mark Erelli and Jez Lowe.

The whole concert was recorded for an upcoming CD release (July 2009), and the 8 musicians will reconvene at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival in August, to once again perform the 19 songs that were written during the week.

Details on the CD release can be found at

Sound mixed by Stu Hanna
Video recorded and edited by Microvideo, Shrewsbury

  • That was beutiful..... and I was just online, planning a busking trip around Europe, after 15 years of travelling and living on Resorts and Resort Towns, feeling, just a little lonely, but ok, and I stummbled across this song...... It just made me feel really peaceful..... Thank you Emily... as it played I saw all the amazing places I have been, and all the glorious things I have seen..... and the peacefulness in between..... Darcy Jones

  • Wow, beautiful voice.

  • I know that life is short in the perspective of time, I know that our choices and decisions determine this time and I know that it's a matter of time... I know that I can only make a difference now, not yesterday but tomorrow's...

  • A song worthy of Darwin himself. Thank you. Beautifully done.

  • Emily's lovely... I saw her at East Kilbride last Saturday! She has the clearest voice and a nice personality too!

  • @MichaelKingsfordGray I thoroughly concur!

  • wow love this ... thank you for the post

  • @jamestfan I have heard that song. I have only seen Emily Smith live omce when she appeared with 7 other singer songwriters at Shrewsbury Folk Festival last August in the Darwen Song Project

  • Yes, I ended up doing the same thing- just wished I sounded even a fraction as good as Emily does- if you haven't heard it- A Silver Tassie is also really beautiful when she sings it- thanks for replying
