Enough to break a poor man's heart. Polwart's brilliance is to choose to sing so many notes purely and then ornament just the ones that need ornamenting. So beautiful, so simple and yet so intricate. The sweetness and purity of Karine's voice is the shining light of her inner beauty escaping.
La 1ère fois que je l'ai entendu, c'était à Londres à Cécil Sharp House à la fin d'1 bal folk Ceilih. Dans une ronde, tout le monde se tenait les mains et chantaient "the parting glass", j'en avais la larme à l'œil😢, tellement beau et émouvant...🤗 ! Plus tard, j'ai compris la signification 😉. Présentement, trop bien chanté et musiqué 🎹👏
Just home from watching Karine and Dave perform this live. I cannot find the words to express the depth of emotion I felt and will feel for some time to come.
The song is superb.

Karine Polwart is a folk singer, but is far more than that. The style of her singing is firmly within the folk tradition, but her music transcends this genre. Good to see my friend Dave Milligan join her on this song.

Good luck Johnnie Armstrong, wherever you be, and to the other 35 who followed you there.
This is really slow and kind of rote. Not much feeling and not a good version.
