My family history…for which I owe them much love and respect .

Wonderful, joyful, living, authentic music

I remember, as a union activist, that it was always important to identify the listeners as "Comrades", and then scan their faces. You could tell immediately who wasn't a comrade. This performance, and the comments, reminds me that there are still comrades out there.

Thank you very much, Nancy, from Moscow. I still remember how good my county was and we'll reborn. Glad to be not alone and you're paying and singing very nice

Thank you for covering this song so beautifully. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Thank you! I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!

Fantastic!

This is a lovely arrangement and performance of a great song, thanks!

Thanks @NancyKerrMusic - you are brilliant.

Communists have the best music.

Holy shit that is soooo good to bust all that out in one take !!!! 🎉 Amazing xx

this is pretty much my outlook on life summed up.

When you're new in the world, you've a dream that is wild, And they tame you and mold you, 'til one day, behold, You're obedient soldiers, commuters, consumers, Reality rules, and there's no room for dreamers, They teach you your place in the obstacle race With a prize that you chase, always just out of reach, And you're urged on by megaphone voices that offer you Choices that are not your own. Only listen for the voice that lives inside you; Like a songbird in a cage, it waits in silence. Find the key to set it free and soaring skyward; Now the sky is filled with voices, hear them sing beside you. If the powers that be in their wisdom decree That you're no longer needed to feed the machine, The wheel turns, you're dismissed; if you dare to resist, There are walls, there are laws to confuse you and bruise you. They'll label you scroungers and wasters and sponges; They'll call you subversives, reds, traitors, and worse. If you don't fit the norm, if your ways don't conform To the rules, then you're out of the game. Only listen for the voice that lives inside you; Like a songbird in a cage, it waits in silence. Find the key to set it free and soaring skyward; Now the sky is filled with voices, hear them sing beside you. The way they've arranged things, you think you can't change things; You're one, you're just you; but whatever they do, Don't forget to remember, you're a name not a number, And no one can think for you, dream for you, speak for you. Don't let them bind you down, don't let them grind you down, Don't let them mold you, 'til one day, behold, You're obedient tools, you're commuters, consumers, And reality rules out your dreams. Only listen for the voice that lives inside you; Like a songbird in a cage, it waits in silence. Find the key to set it free and soaring skyward; Now the sky is filled with voices, hear them sing beside you.

Well done! A beautiful version of a beautiful song. Thankyou.

Wow! I have just found this. Thank you Nancy. What a gift. An intense workshop with so much in it. I've got a lot to practise. . .but feeling and hearing improvement already.

Amazing guitar skills

❤👍

Could you possibly do a tutorial? im sure its alot to ask and its been 3 years but i would love to know how to play something so beautiful

Brilliant version of one of my favourites.

I love this song. I’ve the Leon album it’s on. The last six weeks have drawn me back to that album. I really enjoyed your violin accompaniment - the fiddle has always been my favourite instrument 😊

wow, now more than ever i think of the land and this song, thank you Nancy x

Oh my goodness, this is utterly beautiful.

Is this available on a CD ? If yes I'll buy it.

we failed once, we won't fail again. you haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a red

This is exceptional, I love it. Everything about it is just right.

Holy moly, this is fantastic 👏👏🔥

absolutely stunning.

Sore them at Bromyard fantastic.

I've always loved Richard's harmonies down the bottom in this combination of voices ... and this is one of my favourites now.

Love this so much

Love this so much, also great animation with the wiccan wheel of the year - thanks for sharing with us.😍

Wonderful harmonies and visuals! Congrats all.

Hauntingly beautiful and poignant, especially after researching the lyrics. Peace.

haven't heard Nancy since seeing her play live with Eliza Carthy in the early 90s. Doesn't time fly.. great cover

This is incredible, beautiful crunchy harmonies and what stunning visuals. Well done one and all!

Harmonies are out of this world, can't wait to hear the rest of the album, I suspect you've outdone yourself yet again!

I'm a huge fan of Lal's and June Tabor's versions, but this one gave me goosebumps. Gorgeous. Thank you.

This is AAAAAAAWESOME! Congratulations! <3

Incredible voice and such brilliant words.

Love this rendition!

THOSE LIVES AND THEIR WORKS WILL NOT BE IN VAIN,I FEEL THEIR SPIRTS, AS I LISTEN TO THIER SONGS, I FEEL ALL THEIR PAIN I SEE THE VISION OF THE WORLD WE WANT, THE HOPE HERE IS NOT YET LOST. THOUGH OUR DAYS ARE MUCH DARKER, AND THE POWER GAP IS TOO MUCH TO BEAR, BUT TO GIVE UP IS NOT WHAT THEY'D WANT, TO THEIR LIVES DISHONOR IT"D BE, SO I WILL NOT STOP, I'LL FIGHT UNTILL THE DAY WE ARE FREE TO YA'LL WHO HAVE NOTHING TO BELIVE, TO Y'ALL WHOSE MOTTO IS MONEY COMES FIRST, WHO ARE YA'LL TO SAY THEIR LIVES HAVE BEEN WASTED ALL THAT THEY FOUGHT FOR WILL NOT TURN TO DUST!

Brilliant vocal performance, this!

Saw Nancy and James at the New Room in the John Wesley chapel tonight. FANTASTIC!

Beautiful version of a wonderful song :)

Still my favourite.

Northumbria is so distinctive culturally, huge county with its own traditional music. Nancy and her mum are just few of recent interpreters. Alistair Anderson, Johnny Handle, Lou Killen, Kathryn Tickell ...
