First thing I ever heard Nic Jones play. In the subterranean bar of the BEA (British European Airways, now half of British Airways) West London Air Terminal, Brompton Rd, London. A colleague, Dave Royal, knew him (probably still does) and invited him along to the Folk Club (struggling to recall the name) there in 1970 / 71.Bought the LP immediately afterwards in a local Earls Court record shop.Only later, hearing other versions, did I realise how good it is. A fine memory.

Great. My vinyl copy form 1971 is a little worn now

This is a nice performance. However, I suspect there is a missing verse referring to the King's Daughter of Norway?

I have a teacher wanting to know if you could send me (or comment) the words to this to give them to her. She's trying to help another student with a project based upon this poem.

Terrific guitar playing. And Martin Simpson thought so too.

Nope. Thumbs down. I want the Scottish version. Rude, weird scottish weird.

As a Scots schoolboy, I had to learn to this..........in the broad Scots vernacular to boot. Not impressed. I was indifferent to the sung version until I heard this. Just brilliant. NJ is a genius. Wonderful to see and hear him perform again.

@wilfridthesiger i love fairport, and i love their version of this song. but i can't help thinking that this version and arrangement have SOOO much to offer in a totally different musical idiom. this is a very versatile arrangement.

I've heard maybe 50 versions of Sir Patrick Spens, but none better than this. And thanks for the link to Nic's website! (There are several of his CD's I suddenly can't live without :-))

Check out Martin Simpson's tutorial clip on how to play this song the Nic Jones way.

Nic Jones came up with the definitive arrangement for this classic Scots folk ballad. There have been many imitators but this is still stunningly impressive. Martin Simpson, Richard Thompson and Martin Carthy have all doffed their caps to tis superb version.

First knew The Ballad of Sir Patrick Spens from the written ballad in high school - What a great pleasure to hear Nic Jones singing it! Splendid! Many thanks!
