I have loved the song "TO ALTHEA FROM PRISON" for quite some time. It is a romantic poem written by Richard Lovelace in 1642. It was put to music by Dave Swarbrick.

However, my favourite version of that is by one of my favourite and very talented acts called Churchfitters. Most beautifully sung by Rosie Short with some lovely fiddle playing by her brother Chris Short.

Can't find a version of it by them on the Internet, but it is on their CD below. Must go and play it now :-)
