GerryM Origin: Too Close to the Wind (Stuart Marson) (45) RE: Origin: Too Close to the Wind (Stuart Marson) 17 Aug 24


The Stuart Marson album, Where Falcons Fly, is up on Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vELwXrfCTqk

Close to the Wind starts ar 15:51 – yes, according to the liner notes, the title of the song is Close to the Wind.

The liner notes say, "In the late 18th century, the 'Culworth Gang' were a band of highwaymen who committed robberies for over 20 years in South Northamptonshire. When the law finally caught up with them, one of the gang members (William Abbott) turned Queen's evidence. He was transported for life whilst the other gang leaders were sent to the gallows in the Summer of 1787."
