Hi guest Arne.
Yes I know Ewan Mac wrote the song, but it is one of those rare occasions where the cover (ie Roberta Flack) is considerably more moving than the original.

Got to agree with Little Musgrave about A Place Called England. Both Maggie's and June Tabor's versions are great

For those who have a love of folk rock, they may find the following essential too

Sandy Denny - Who knows where the time goes
Strawbs - Hangman and the Papist

Also (backtracking a little). Wasn't it Ewan MacColl who wrote Terror Time? Another oft forgotten gem

Cheers
LL
