A mixed bag for week 32: a sad song about a young woman being seduced and abandoned, a funny song about a middle-aged man getting dumped and a song with a happy ending and a misleading beginning.

First, Blackwaterside - a song that needs no introduction! It's accompanied on heavily-processed zither and on D whistle (semi-improvised); the arrangement owes a debt of gratitude to Jon Hopkins's work on the album Diamond Mine. NB I trailed this version a couple of days ago, but I've tweaked the sound since then.

An outlandish dream is a broadside curiosity: a song of love, class and chastity which seemingly features our old friend the outlandish knight. (Perhaps it's another outlandish knight.)

On board the 'Kangaroo' is a song of loss and heartbreak, played for laughs. Learned from the version recorded by Tony Rose, which features a concertina part I can't hope to emulate; I've accompanied it on melodica and whistles instead.
