I've been a "Spanner" since I was a nipper, my mum loved them and this version of one of my favourite songs was suggested....the Steeleye version reflected the easier 70s era, this hammers the new millennia firmly to the mast of State Control and State Violence...a lament to an era snatched and smashed to pieces for the benefit of Corporate Marxism. A beautiful song, a beautiful renditio, may Olde England be Merrie once more!
Just got Layers of Ages and it is so beautifully done. As someone loving my learning to play fiddle, it is so inspirational. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful CD!
That brought me to tears Peter, I miss Hastings. You once told me as we were having a beer outside the Nelson, that you have just begun to reach a new pinnacle in your playing..Yes you have..God bless. Paul x
As of today, this is the most appropriate social commentary that I can think of.

Brillant
Sublime version of an old favourite. Great new video.
I badly miss Peter Knight from the Steeleye lineup. I’m glad I found this video. I love this song. I love this version. Brilliant!
Gigspanner still plays throughout the UK.

He still plays in Hastings whenever he can .Not long seen him in Bexhill.Excellent as usual
Excellent, beautiful recording
Beautiful and moving video!
Excellent. Luvvitt
I suspect this song will have equal relevance in a year or two.. Unlike the other song Death and the Lady which has sadly relevance today.. uncanny.
Beautiful song but the thumbnail is horrifying
