The best description of Sandy Denny's talent I've read is (by memory) that she sang traditional songs as if they were written yesterday and contemporary songs as if they had survived for centuries.

Good to see this back, it's been on my favourites for a long time but inaccessible. Have loved this performance since I bought the boxed set of LPs more than 25 years ago (still have them too).

This video is sadly unavailable on this platform (iPhone). Not fair....

She sings this as though it is from personal experience-so much feeling.Such a sad spring day,thirty six years ago today when that voice was lost to us.

Went to Cropredy two or three times in early to mid-nineties-been meaning to go again but it usually coincides with a family holiday that appears to be set in stone in mid- August every year. Maybe this year will be different!

Apologies for all the random letter A's and strange punctuation marks in my last post-not sure why it does that as I checked the spellings and punctuation before posting. Dodgy computer or dodgy eyes?

I bought the 'Boxful of Treasures ' box set at Christmas (along with 2 other Sandy Denny box sets!) and I heard this track for the first time a few weeks ago. I happened to be reading a book about the British countryside and the battles fought to save our remaining wetlands (another passion of mine).The combination of reading about all that has been lost in wildlife terms since the mid 20th Century and Sandy Denny's haunting version of this traditional song quite literally sent shivers down my spine. Her voice has the ability to affect you in a way that few others can, particularly on tracks such as this one, 'Banks of the Nile', 'No End', 'Fhir A Bhata'. . . there are just so many! I think that it must be something to do with the combination of melancholy and power. . but sometimes it is pointless trying to analyse and de-mystify these things. Better just to be grateful and enjoy.

Ha ha! From memory this traditional song appears in different guises using different placenames, so it's highly unlikely it was written specifically about Bruton anyway. I'll take this opportunity to correct a typo in my earlier posting - as a local you'll no doubt appreciate that it's actually the Leland Trail! I'm glad this upload is attracting so much attention, it's one of many Sandy gems but is presumably one of the more obscure ones on YouTube.

Ha ha, it's not that bad mate! I remember passing through it when walking the Leyland Trail in the mid 1990s. Quite a quaint old town i thought.

@CookieOfTheHousie I will check the Pentangle song out, i don't know it. Glad you enjoyed the Sandy Denny performance.

I wanted to compare this version to Pentangle's but this are two completely different songs!! Both incredible.
