One of the finest guitarists, songwriter and performers around today. I love watching this man just playing his guitar, he’s magical to my way of thinking. His 52 Vincent Black Lightening is a masterpiece IMO.

About the most beautiful in simultaneously saddest love songs ever written. Not to mention that voice the guy's the best.

I first heard this song last week at an Open Mic night (at the Thomas Tripp, Christchurch on the 15th of Oct 24) by a guy called Rick Jones and was immediately struck by how lovely the song is and how beautifully he played it. (He didn't let you down) Rick told me who the song was by and have to say, shamefully, I'd never heard of you but wish I had moons ago. I now really want to learn to play it and thank whatever being that's 'up' there that there are such amazing and creative people that can bring joy and beauty to an otherwise messed up world. It goes a long way to restoring my faith in mankind. Thanks Richard P.S. Where would we be without the Bees??

Crazy man Michael was amazing by Sandy Denny but I thing it's a man's song and for that I like it better by Richard Thompson.

Love this song & this rendition is tied for the top 3 best of the dozen,at leasr, that I've come across.
Does anyone know what Tigallum Tigali means and or what language is it? Allison sings it at the end of the French verses... I adore this song and I've been singing it... I'd like to know the meaning of those two words so I'll know what everything I'm singing means!

Heard Pentangle perform this in Belfast in about 1965 or 6. Loved it then, love it now. Someone mentioned Little Musgrave. Much as I love Christy Moore and all his work, for me Little Musgrave doesn't begin to compare with this.
