- Darwin Song Project Concert
Shrewsbury, March 19th 2009
The Earl of Darwin's Farewell / Save a Place
written by Stu Hanna, Jez Lowe, Emily Smith
performed by Emily Smith, Stu Hanna, Jez Lowe and Rachael McShane
In March 2009 eight folk singer/songwriters gathered together for a week long songwriting residential in rural Shropshire to create songs that had a relevance and resonance with Charles Darwin.
The eight artists were Chris Wood, Karine Polwart, Stu Hanna, Rachael McShane, Krista Detor, Emily Smith, Mark Erelli and Jez Lowe.
The whole concert was recorded for an upcoming CD release (July 2009), and the 8 musicians will reconvene at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival in August, to once again perform the 19 songs that were written during the week.
Details on the CD release can be found at

Still listening 2024! Wow beautiful harmonies! 💕🎼💕
There's a sweetness in Emily's accordion playing that I've not heard from anyone else. I don't know how she does it. I love Phil Cunningham of course, but something about Emily's expression goes right through me.
What a beautiful song and what a beautiful rendiition Emily Smith does. She is an astonishingly good performer and I have really enjoyed listening to her music ever since I heard her sing 'Caledonia' which I heard years ago, and loved the song and her performance immediately.
Agreed! Just wonderful! 💕🎼💕
They should do more of these collaborative works, as great as these artists are individually (and they are), there is something truly magical that happens when they all pull together and learn and fine tune each other like this.
I have written it before, but I will write it again: Emily's voice is like an aural tranquilizer; listening to it one can feel the tension slipping away. 11/25/2016
Hey come across this by accident it was ritten for me about me ⁉❔🌞❤👍 xx lol Paul p Birmingham England lovely sad song but good voice and lovely lass
Darwin deserves great songs like this. Lovely.
To Jamestfan-- I had the same problem so I wrote the words down from the dvd by pausing at the end of each line. Well worth the effort to learn such a lovely song
A song worthy of Darwin himself. Thank you. Beautifully done.
@MichaelKingsfordGray I thoroughly concur!
Yes, I ended up doing the same thing- just wished I sounded even a fraction as good as Emily does- if you haven't heard it- A Silver Tassie is also really beautiful when she sings it- thanks for replying
Wow, beautiful voice.
Beautiful! Thank you.
@jamestfan I have heard that song. I have only seen Emily Smith live omce when she appeared with 7 other singer songwriters at Shrewsbury Folk Festival last August in the Darwen Song Project
wow love this ... thank you for the post
I absolutely love this song- does anyone know where i can get the lyrics. Lucky enough to see Emily sing in NZ last weekend- beautiful pure voice
