Martin, thanks for raising the Harrier's plight in such a beautiful, emotional way. I've been a fan of yours since the eighties and at the same time have watched the Hen Harriers decline in the Highlands, where I live and work, at the hands of greedy criminals. I can feel change coming, your song gives me hope.

@MartinSimpsonOfficial Done. I hope this counts. Your music means a great deal to me. I currently have Prodigal Son in my car. As soon as it starts, I feel instantly relaxed and relieved. You once sent me a handwritten transcript of Louisiana 1927, which I cherish. I have many of your CDs. You are an inspiration to me. What tuning do you use for Mother Love? I have to learn to play that one.

Things are a lot more complicated than “get rid of grouse shooting”. The Langholm moor project proved that - when the moor ceased to be managed for grouse (no burning or predator control), hen harrier numbers plummeted.
Hey Martin, I hope you’ve recovered from the virus. We really enjoyed your concert in St Austell last week. I’m not one for over using superlatives, but how can they be avoided when you are such an incredible man & guitarist!I love your passion for history, folk tales, nature & people (including Chris Packham). You come across as intelligent and well informed in his anti Conservative conversation! My husband has played guitar for around 50 years and since becoming depressed 6 months ago, he no longer plays. I wondered if a message from you (one of his heroes would lift his spirit?) Here’s a link to a song he wrote for me when we met 10 years ago; I’d love you to comment on it please. 🙏 th-cam.com/video/y6d6iqPxtjQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=maNKFaSp9bfhdM9x

Martin, thanks for raising the Harrier's plight in such a beautiful, emotional way. I've been a fan of yours since the eighties and at the same time have watched the Hen Harriers decline in the Highlands, where I live and work, at the hands of greedy criminals. I can feel change coming, your song gives me hope.

@MartinSimpsonOfficial Done. I hope this counts. Your music means a great deal to me. I currently have Prodigal Son in my car. As soon as it starts, I feel instantly relaxed and relieved. You once sent me a handwritten transcript of Louisiana 1927, which I cherish. I have many of your CDs. You are an inspiration to me. What tuning do you use for Mother Love? I have to learn to play that one.
Just fabulous. Martin's intricate guitar playing is as marvellous as ever, and this is a fabulous song.

Incrediblly moving. Perhaps my favorite, but with songs like Dreamtime in his repertoire that is hard to say. A stunning call for things that are slipping away, a reminder to reclaim the beauty while we can.
Love it, Martin! Loved last night's gig in Abergavenny, too. :)

Remarkable - exquisite guitar work and threads of nature winding in the poetry of the piece
Thanks Martin.
I loved your performance at St Mary's Church in Twyford of this beautiful song so resonant of the equally beautiful Hen Harrier.
A hen harrier had one of our chickens last year and the three small pigeon's not out the nest yet , nature is beautiful
Beautiful!
Martin is the finest acoustic guitarist out there.
Can't wait for my copy of the CD, expected any day soon
Stunning playing ❤ beautiful

Damned hunters.
Martin what tuning are you using
This one is C G C G C D Capo II, all of the tunings for the album are also included in the CD booklet and on the back cover of the vinyl version

Things are a lot more complicated than “get rid of grouse shooting”. The Langholm moor project proved that - when the moor ceased to be managed for grouse (no burning or predator control), hen harrier numbers plummeted.
I saw the harriers at Symonds Yat years ago. Sadly the Red Kite may soon by grumbled at as a pest

Hey Martin, I hope you’ve recovered from the virus. We really enjoyed your concert in St Austell last week. I’m not one for over using superlatives, but how can they be avoided when you are such an incredible man & guitarist!I love your passion for history, folk tales, nature & people (including Chris Packham). You come across as intelligent and well informed in his anti Conservative conversation! My husband has played guitar for around 50 years and since becoming depressed 6 months ago, he no longer plays. I wondered if a message from you (one of his heroes would lift his spirit?) Here’s a link to a song he wrote for me when we met 10 years ago; I’d love you to comment on it please. 🙏 th-cam.com/video/y6d6iqPxtjQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=maNKFaSp9bfhdM9x
