When I was a child, we spent every summer staying with my Aunt in the middle of the welsh countryside. No TV reception at all. We spent many evenings singing songs into the night. I used to love it - Tom Lehrer, Joan Baez and lots of old folk songs.

I can remember sitting on my mothers knee listening to her sing 'The Outlandish Knight' and 'The Golden Vanity'. I loved the stories in the songs. A love which has stayed with me to this day. Our family still have 'sing-songs' on a regular basis....
