It’s a Christmas song!

It’s me! Singing a Christmas song! MASSIVE thanks to the very, very wonderful Colin Harper for unearthing this lost gem of a Bert Jansch song — known only from a single performance at the Landmark Theater in Richmond, Virginia, in 2011 — and commissioning me to record it. Check out the video on YouTube — and please share, share, share! Here are a few photos of the recording process:

The song isn’t currently available for download or purchase, but I do hope to release it on a Christmas album in a future year. Please sign up for the mailing list if you’d like to be notified of that as and when it happens! Huge thanks also to the equally wonderful Martin Stansbury, Roger Luxton and Mark Stratford for their parts in this endeavour — see full credits below:
