Ah! The happy memories of cold winter nights huddled cround the fire in the back snug of The Colpitts (1988-1999) warming to Robin Dale's sublime renderings of this & a host of other Graeme Miles songs, all sung to perfection.

One wonders - Jon Boden opened this thread in 2000, at which point, though living in Durham, we would have been in hiatus from The Durham City Folk Club (mainly because I was trying to quit smoking & couldn't face a pint of OB without a fag; also because Rachel's shiftwork scuppered our social routine for 5 years). Anyhoo - according to DCFC lore Jon was a regulsr at The Colpitts at this time - though I never knowingly met him myself, though Thor insisted I did. Whatever the case, he's sure to have heard Robin sing it - the source, perhaps, of this enquiry?

Does Robin ever come Mudcat way? We've still got one of his scarecrow posters on our wall - signed (to Rachel) of course!
