Still plenty of nettles hereabouts. Hope no viewers are clemmed these credit crunch days.

Wonderful. Thanks for uploading this. As I wait, probably in vain for another Silly Sisters album :(

Wow! that style of harmony singing is so stark, plaintive and powerful... with a lyric for the ages... it sends chills and they both sound sooo great together.Thanx for posting.

I searched for Maddy Prior and June Tabor, and have happened across a song from my home town! Go Owdham!

It's a fine arrangement of a fine song...but by God it owes everything to this perfect pairing of two of the finest singers alive today.

I grew up on The Silly Sisters and listen them all the time. This performance brought tears to my eyes. This is remarkable.

This is what it's all about! I absolutely adore this performance by two of my favourite women in folk. And no, June Tabor maybe isn't a woman, she is an Earth Goddess! :o) x

Oh is there a DVD of this show? I cannot get tired of watching it. June is so much better live than I ever imagined. I saw Steeleye Span in the seventies but this is is just so much nicer, more trad. Peace out.

The finest dirge ever written bar none. I have both albums of Maddy and June and this is the best work either of them has ever produced in my humble and considered view. I had been a fan of Steeleye Span for a decade before I found this. Genius.

@DickHBox iTunes is CD quality, so you can download it and burn it on a CD if you wish ;-) I only download, saves a lot of space instead of all these CD boxes...
