Yes, this is little Will Martin. The guy has one of the most awesome voices I've heard in a while. Listen to him sing "Into the West." Be forewarned though - get some tissues. One of the most awesome songs I've yet to hear. Guaranteed!
I didn't know who was singing here, but immediately I was impressed by this vibration-free voice. A rarity these days, when all kind of useless "decorations" are made between one note and the next. (e.g. the horrible way Mariah Carey sings). Just singing from one note straight to the next one (the classical way) seems "dull" for the present generation. But how difficult it is to sing this way. Here one recognizes the real singer if he is vocally capable to do so. And this guy can do it. After checking internet and TH-cam I see he is even a young guy(born 1984, don't know how old he was when he recorded this). So that gives hope for the future that there are still young singers who sing in the traditional way. Please keep this up, Will Martin. By the way: This song suits him very well. Of the four I just heard by far the best. From the Netherlands: 12 votes!!
Vibrato is a lovely skill though, and definitely has nothing to do with what the current generation cares about. Whether someone does vibrato or not is not what classifies them as a 'real' singer. It's just what _you_ like. Vibrato is very, very, very classic - and not a "decoration".
Koos, I don't think you realized that he actually has a very nice natural vibrato to his voice. It's in almost every note he sings. He also does apply it more deliberately, but never excessively. I get what you mean by many who sing over the top, but vibrato is a natural - and trained vocal and instrumental technique.
not bad. but I am stuck in my ways and as such I prefer John Tam's version. his seams more real while Will's here sounds more like it works well in the theatre. But that's just the differences in styles I suppose. Love this better tho than some others that I have found.
Your right , things looked a bit shaky for a while , so much for opinion polls , someone should remake this song and change the name to ..King Boris .....Cheers
I was never in much doubt Brexit would happen. However I knew we'd have to fight another battle to secure it, whether that be a second referendum or a general election. Needless to say it was the latter, but the scale of victory last month was certainly a pleasant surprise. Role on the 31st! "With colours blazing like the sun"
Whilst musical taste is subjective and not objective and thus pointless arguing about, this is (obviously) not a marching song. A marching song has a strong, regular rhythm, as sung by marching troops
There are definitely marching versions of the melody, though. I've heard a very convincing fife and drum rendition that sounds like it could easily be from the 18th century
Thanks for that. Although we are looking back quite a long time in history, it is pretty clear that the original melody and lyrics were not related to military matters, let alone marching. Farquhar's later version re. fleeing overseas to join the army used the same melody and this was later adapted, inter-alios by John Tams for the "Sharpe" TV series. The version here is simply a song about joining the army as sung for centuries (with varying lyrics); it is not in marching format as in the British Grenadiers, for example.
This is how a regiment band may perform it with the best singer from the regiment. John Tams' version fits more in how you would expect the men of the regiment to perform it.
A most beautiful rendition of an absolute classic. This is a mainstay of my daily listening.
Great rendition.
Best version, beautiful.
Why do I feel like this should be in a movie during an inspiring scene
It was - Have you seen any of the "Sharpe's Rifles" movies from the 90s?
Check out the 'Sharpe' movies starring Sean Bean. A little dated now but still absolutely brilliant and almost every one has this song in.

@canyoubelievethis220 Thanks, and I've heard his Into the West, as well as other pieces-- all magnificent.
Superb

Dwergarphalanx John Tams is better especially when he plays the fiddle
John Tams version will always be my favorite. But this guy does have a nice voice.
Can I get this on a gramophone disc?
For a 15 year old it might be a weird request but I love old music

Not long now.

I really dont like the emotional interpretation of this marching song, the lyrics contrast with the voice is just unbearable for me
