This is one of the most astonishing songs ever written or recorded. I heard this when it first came out and it just completely blew my mind.

I first became aware of Keith Christmas and this song almost a year ago while listening to a radio programme of English folk music and the question that immediately came to mind at that time was "how is it that I have never heard of this phenomenal talent before now?" I may have been late to the game but I am grateful to know of him now and have since bought all of his records I could find. Now if I could only play as well as him!

Another brilliant British talent I hadn't listened up to this morning.

I saw Keith live at Exeter Uni, round about when this album was released. I was blown away. This song is a perfect reminder of what am amazing performer he was.

This is a most pertinent song for so many people
