Speaking as a baritone player, I don't think I've ever heard a more appealing tone on the instrument. Gorgeous! Incidentally, Frog & Henry show that there is still many a rich vein to be mined in "older" music.
I was wondering. It's a useful trick because with a capo you can play any key in chord shapes that suit the guitar. By that I mean able to damp all strings or indeed leave some ringing depending on what is required.
It takes taste and imagination to play baritone sax behind a guitar-based vocal on this delicate song. Not many musicians would even try it, but we've known for years that Ewan Bleach is the right person to do it. And I would agree that "I don't think I've ever heard a more appealing tone on the instrument."
Great combo, love the varied instruments you use. The early jazz bands often used guitarists and or banjo players and less often a violin. I also liked that you have a vocalist as hearing the lyrics adds so much to the performance. The overall sound seems very authentic to me. Keep up the good work!
This deserves some credit and more widespread appreciation. It has something of everything. The tones, the arrangement is so different. Even the words have been miss-mashed.... I love it. {My thanks to @sylviachapman2345 for explaining the Tuba operation. I thought I am going mad..... !}
Who is "playing" the tuba? The guy behind the tuba is blowing into the mouthpiece, but his hands are strumming the guitar. But the valves of the tuba are moving up and down by themselves. No one's hands are on the valves. How is this done? Are there foot pedals for the tuba?
I found the answer to my question: ["Featuring the foot -operated tuba-machine of our own design, allowing one person to play guitar and tuba simultaneously and Matt Redman on cello banjo."] ruclips.net/video/-ES3IZZEXKE/видео.html

It's in Eb, a comfy key for horns. I notice the geetar is tuned down to D. What a bunch of wonderful musicians.

Ewan Bleach , as usual , shows his mastery of whichever instrument he plays!
