Thanks Chris! A pleasure to share. The best part for me was arriving after 2 weeks walking, on a journey in winter that we started with no money, and were violently sick on days 1-3from drinking badly filtered holy well water from the ancient cathedral crypt at Winchester. We made it here, the caretaker agreed to hold the phone, and we got to offer this song of death and life - it's a very ancient Irish melody, and a theme that is probably as old as anything - to this vast crowd of the dead. It was the biggest concert I've ever done!
Really enjoy your songs Will, sung with such meaning.
Thanks Steven and Jayne! Mixing songs with journeys makes both come alive in really exciting ways, I find.
All the best - stay well!
First time I've heard this song, what a powerful song, I shall treasure this and try to learn it.
I sang this at my mum's funeral. It's a strong song indeed. x
Just want to say thank you
