Farewell To The Gold - Nic Jones version video free download
As recorded by Nic Jones on Penguin Eggs, written by Paul Metsers.Tuning: CFCFAC. www.samcartermusic.co.uk
This video is intended to shed light on Nic Jones' arrangement of Farewell To The Gold, and is something I've chosen to post online as a guitar teacher as well as a Nic Jones enthusiast.
In contrast, as an artist I perform my own material as well as my own versions of traditional songs. As such, I don't play Nic's arrangements at my own gigs. You can find videos of many of my own songs among my uploaded videos.

Great Version like both the voice and excellent guitar work ,your pared back version express the sentiment of loneliness and lost dreams in the goldfields of Otago well.I wonder if Paul Metsers got the idea from "Arawata Bill" a poem by well known NZ poet Denis Glover .One of my favourite songs. Heard Paul sing it ,sing it in Wellington NZ before he headed to UK sadly our loss ,hope he heads back to Aotearoa if only for a visit.13 years ago

Great cover, dude! Nic Jones would be proud. I also really like Elliott Smith poster in the background, it's too bad that he's no longer with us today.Related Videos
