In my view Steve Knightley is one of the finest folk song writers of the current era. His songs tell stories, make political comment, engage with significant audiences. The beauty and passion of some of the songs make me cry - especially when experienced live with people joining in on the choruses.

I like his voice too and the Show of Hands arrangements, and sound quality, in concert are second to none. The music supports and enhances the lyrics

Fortunately many people who are passionate about folk music think the same.
