I'm fortunate that I heard Harvey sing this song at the Heaton Village Folk Club (Bolton, Lancs) soon after he had written it.

The folk club, and the building in which it met, are both long gone.

A few years ago I heard Isla St. Clair sing the song at the Railway, Heatley. She'd only just learned it, but made a mighty powerful job of it. I hadn't realised how good she was until then.

Harvey is coming to the Railway once again on May 3rd... tickets disappearing fast!

With any luck, the cold that was festering at Woodford Festival has been and gone!!
