Love the mood and feel of this song - very reminiscent of the music on HM's first LP in 1970. That's been a favourite ever since it was first released. When I sold a lot of my old vinyl some years ago, that was one of the collection that just had to be kept. You do hear quite a bit of their later music, but not too much from that first wonderful set of songs.
Saw them at the Egremont folk club in Cumbria during the early 1970s. A great night. This track still evokes strong emotions now. I still have the album.
"Mr Hiscock" (the writer, singer and member of HM) became an English teacher and was the best teacher I ever had.... great guy. It was 1983 and during a General Studies lesson he played us his band's album and invited us to critique it... we didn't realise until at the end he confessed it was him... I was privileged!
I am glad that you felt privileged Mark and that you posted your comment. I had never heard of this band till a few minutes ago. There are so many bands, people, things that the vast majority of us never hear of and/or never encounter. A lot of the time I don't think we even know we have encountered it/them ... or whatever. When we do though - we don't forget.
I love this, and the album it came from. I saw this band in the 70s in Norfolk.

And now they're back!
One of my favourite songs ever. Will be played at my funeral.
Classic song from a brilliant album and one I love to play and sing. Thanks for the post
Saw them on Wally Whyton's Country Meets Folk in 1973. On the same show was the legendary Harvey Andrews!
Used to play this back in the early 80s with a friend of mine - 2 harmony guitars. Beautfiul song.
Beautiful.
Gets to me every time.
