Well, i'm about 8 years late, but this showed up in my recommendations and made my day. Still gold. I was fortunate to discover your work not too long ago and will be a fan for life. Blessings from across the pond!
Love this song. Love this version. But what have you all been eating? It looks like you've had a main meal followed by afternoon tea...but surely you couldn't sing so beautifully after all that? ;-)

I feel so lucky to have discovered Karine Polwart, years after other fans, but at least afore I'm dead!
When Billy Bragg himself sends the link with a recommendation, you know you're onto something. Lovely.

You're still a year ahead of me! I saw her in concert on Friday 15th October in Shrewsbury, England. It was wodenderful.

That's a gorgeous cover .... and recorded around the corner from our house in New Brighton!
I have just found this. Wonderful!
Beautiful harmonies!
Thanks for sacrificing your dinner - it's gone cold now... Gorgeous.
Made me cry a little at Purbeck Folk Festival 2013. The three of you were spectacular. x
Lovely. I like the simple effective accompaniment and harmony. A beautiful song, beautifully sung.
Glad I found this.

Billy Bragg sent me here too! Thanks Billy.
That food looks as good as the song sounds.
great version of a treasured song but what's the food doing there? Are they in the middle of judging Masterchef or something? haha
Yeah... thanks Billy... this is priceless. And poignant for me right now.
Love this song. Love this version. But what have you all been eating? It looks like you've had a main meal followed by afternoon tea...but surely you couldn't sing so beautifully after all that? ;-)
Brilliant, when you playing ireland?
This is brilliant. How did it happen??
Mmmm, nice.
It does make you feel that all that food is distracting. I would write more but I have come over all hungry....
Scottish independence will free England too.
Lovely, but ... why didn't they eat their dinner / posh tea??
she's a kind scottish woman. this is normal :)
again better than the original but may be the accent haha
Billy sent me here.
Beautiful ... but the foreground is soooo off-putting.
