In 1968 he left the Police Force to pursue a career in folk music, as a singer and guitar player. This particular period lasted until 1998 approx., when he took a proper job in which he had to wear proper trousers and, on occasions, a suit and tie.
During the aforementioned period of thirty years, he visited quite a few countries, made quite a few solo records, quite a few of which are no longer available, played quite a lot of clubs and concerts and festivals, and made session appearances on quite a few other persons' records including Kate Rusby, Nic Jones, Richard Thompson, Mike Harding, Tony Rose, Bob Pegg and quite a few others.
The period of 1998 to 2007 has been taken up by work with the very occasional engagement. However, in July 2007 all this changed when he retired for the second time. Hopefully, quite a few people will see this increased availability as quite a good thing. He is known to be quite looking forward to performing and seeing friends, some quite old and some quite new, and demonstrating his own controlled dynamism.

I found this song in “Fireside Book of Folk Songs” when I was first learning music ten years ago. I’d never heard it and I looked it up here. I’ve been revisiting it ever since. Really, really beautiful. Thanks so much.

Fine rendition. I'm from Boston MA USA. I first heard this sung in 1975 by George Furey in a pub in Waterford, Ireland. I hadn't heard it since. Thanks, Paul
