Hello Jon. many years ago (probably about 15) I cornered you in the car park of a pub just outside Crediton in Devon. You has just finished your set at he Crediton folk festival. Not for the first time I had sat fighting back tears whilst you sang your song 'Poor murdered men. I got you to sing it through again in the carpark so that I could record it on tape.
Every year around this time I remember it and find myself singing it (as closely as I can remember) over and over.
I moved down to Devon myself about 8 years ago, and moved to a new house just about 2 weeks ago, but still in Devon. That original recording may well have been lost over the years, and 3 house moves, but It's possible, with luck I may still have the tape tucked away somwhere. I think I'll just have a little look through the as yet unpacked boxes!
