I've had this stuck in my head for days...
Great 'Cruel Sister' variant, with great work through the wordplay and the right amount of aggression. Pentangle need to move over on this one.
Fantastic, truly one of my favourite bands from my past......
Hello from the Upper Peninsula Michigan USA. One of best versions of Seven Gypsies I have heard!! Love you!! Thanks.
love this song and this line-up. Fran's clapping and Ellie's fiddle
This is the first time I listen to your music. Just... incredible. Greetings from Madrid.

I know Simon Foote :) His mum was my Uncle Peters sister. Great to see you guys making a great fist of things.
There were two sisters side by side, sing aye-dum sing aye-day
One of them was my teacher
This is based off a folk song called Bows of London isn’t it?
fabulous- - have you any plans to play in Wales as would love to see you live (bought your album after hearing you on Mark Radcliffe BBC radio 2)
Yes! Couple of times over the summer. Go to the website www.stickinthewheel.com for gig info and mailing list signup :-)
Brilliant, did you record the whole gig?
Voice a bit like Anne Briggs. Can't be the first person to say that.
There were two little sisters walking along
Hey the gay and the grinding
Two little sisters a-walking alone
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And the eldest pushed her sister in
Hey the gay and the grinding
Pushed her sister into the stream
By the bonny bonny bows of London
Oh she pushed her in and she watched her drown
Hey the gay and the grinding
Watched her body floating down
By the bonny bonny bows of London
Oh she floated up and she floated down
Hey the gay and the grinding
Floats till she come to the miller's dam
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And out and come the miller's son
Hey the gay and the grinding
Father dear here swims a swan
By the bonny bonny bows of London
Oh they laid her out on the bank to die
Hey the gay and the grinding
Fool with a fiddle come a-riding by
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And he took some strands of her long yellow hair
Hey the gay and the grinding
Took some strands of her long yellow hair
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And he made some strings from this yellow hair
Hey the gay and the grinding
Made some strings from this yellow hair
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And he made fiddle pegs from her long fingerbone
Hey the gay and the grinding
Made fiddle pegs from her long fingerbone
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And he made a fiddle out of her breastbone
Hey the gay and the grinding
Sound would pierce the heart of a stone
By the bonny bonny bows of London
But the only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the bows of London
The only tune the fiddle would play
Was the bonny bonny bows of London
So the fool's gone away to the king's high hall
Hey the gay and the grinding
There was music dancing and all
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And he laid this fiddle all down on a stone
Hey the gay and the grinding
Played so loud it played all alone
By the bonny bonny bows of London
It sang yonder sits my father the king
Hey the gay and the grinding
Yonder sits my father the king
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And yonder sits my mother the queen
Hey the gay and the grinding
How she'll grieve at my burying
By the bonny bonny bows of London
And yonder she sits my sister Anne
Hey the gay and the grinding
She who drownded me in the stream
By the bonny bonny bows of London
