There's a DVD of that gig, well worth the money.

beeeeeutifully done

Sublime.

Steve Knightley is one of those under the radar (for most people) genuises, a sort of secret national treasure. One of the great contemporary songwriters.

Terrific. First version I've heard to match Carolyn Hester. Terrific. Piano is great.

Thank you for this. To walk where they walked, to touch the earth that they touched. So many ages ago but still remains. My heart yearns to be there, it's so beautiful.

While I am here, "In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow" Your beautiful video transported me to summer days of hearing the birds and bees going about their day. Lovely video, music and hearing you read William Wordsworth was perfection. Thank you.

Thank you, it was most serene. Vaughan WIlliams's The Lark Ascending is another beautiful piece.

Excellent keep up the good work, some very good camera work, look forward to next one. 👍🏻

A lovely video. I felt that I was on that sweet walk with you!

So hauntingly sad!

So moving...it always brings me to tears...such an emotive traditional song. xxxxxx

good, but the Shelag Mc Donald version is too much better, much more emotional and mesmerezing

Great 👍🏻

Beneath the Blair smile smirks the Tory grin.

What does "marrow" mean in this context?

I Looovvveeee josh Robins. Not seen him in Ely lately 💋 💋 💋 💋

A BRILLIANT ROOTS FOLK BAND A GREAT NIGHT AT THEIR CONCERTS.

Lovely to see this again. I was there! Still a big fan.

S. C. CFC.

I was singing "Tall ships" having learned it form a fellow folkie way before I ever heard Steve do it..

Her voice is so pretty! 😍😍😍

Thank you for taking the trouble to make this lovely video.

Drake might have been born in Devon but he grew up and learned to sail in Kent

Wonderful, thank you.

“Oh mither, I hae dreamed a dream A dream o’ doul and sorrow I dreamed I was pu’ing the heathery bells On the Dowie Dens o’ Yarrow” (“O madre ho fatto un sogno e temo che porterà sventura ho sognato di raccogliere l’erica rossa sulle tristi valli di Yarrow” heather bell è il nome dell’erica cenerina che vive su suoli rocciosi e rupi (vedi scheda); una leggenda scozzese spiega come la comune erica rosata sia diventata bianca: sono state le lacrime di Malvina per il suo Oscar ferito a morte dopo il suo duello con Cairbar nell’Ulster. Il prode guerriero figlio di Ossian diede a un compagno d’armi un ramo di erica violetta affinchè lo portasse a Malvina per dimostrarle l’amore eterno che nutriva per lei . E Malvina con la forza del suo amore e la disperazione del suo cuore fece scolorire i fiori bagnandoli di lacrime. Da allora l’erica bianca fu emblema dell’amore fedele; la somiglianza con la leggenda norrena di Baldur e del vischio è sorprendente. Il sogno della fanciulla è così funesto perchè l’erica cenerina è rossa presagio della morte in duello del suo innamorato. tratto da terreceltiche.altervista.org/the-dowie-dens-of-yarrow-le-ballate-del-border/

First time I've heard this song. She has a very haunting voice. I loved it.

polly has a pure voice.saddly she missed her mark, as im sure she could have stood shoulder to shoulder with the best given the right chances.

Love this! She has a most beautiful voice!

I have Polly's album featuring this song...she sing's it so beautifully, I sob all the way through it!! x

What a way to propose!!

1st July 1916 The Battle of The Somme. We Remember

Hauntingly beautiful.

The most beautiful song xx* I am trying to find a youtube version of the latest recording from Centenary or a live recent recording. Any advice ? xx*

Fantastic singer/musician and a thoroughly nice person!

So beautifully sad...

EXCELLENT!!

'Things I learnt this Year' <3 x

So beautiful. Just getting back in to Show of Hands music after too long away. x

Brilliant song. My great x 2 grandad was a Keeper in Yorkshire. My grandad was wounded on the Somme on 1st July 1916.

Great video! Don't forget about the short piece on the Fiddle after 'The Oak' called 'Breakfast for Altan' (a Phil Beer composition).

As a toddler 63 years ago, I am told I loved m Morris dancing. Watching the Albion Morris has stirred something in me. Now im watching Morris dancing on UTube whenever I can.

old but still good.

This seems to have been taken in large part from an album from the sixties, but I can't quite place it. When I get my records in order I'll find it. I think it may have been Caroline Hester. Polwart's voice is better and she puts in a nice minor ending to the lines, but the general melody and execution is quite the same. I always liked it sung that way. This is very good.

x stunning x

I am home - when'e you going back to Saxony or Schleswig-Holsten ?

You mean like the 20% of English people who have moved into Wales and vote against Welsh Language schools ?

I could play this to death - it's superb. As for you Daily Telegraph-type racist tossers - these lads show a type of English nationalism that attacks no one else but says to address your own faults. Some of it is ironic, like posing by Kernow, which is a Celtic country claimed by the Germanic English, and the use of Drake's Drum, a direct copy of Arthur's - Arthur, the man who fought against the English invaders of these isles... The very acceptable face of English Nationalism

wow seriously good video. Well done and congratulations for taking the time and trouble and for finding the inspiration to do it. Must have taken ages to collect the images. Very thoughtfully put together and very moving. Really deserves more hits. Sadly you d be better with a silly cat video for that end ( ie loads of hits). But anyway, I really appreciate it. Wonderful wonderful song as usual from Mr knightley and crew. A mighty thumbs up from me.
