I love Barnstabubble- and Ms Eva's rendition!

[@evanmcdoniels]

beautiful vocal performance and arrangement!

[@tamorawilson9236]

So beautiful! The voice is perfect for these lyrics!

[@NikNewark]

I wrote it with her in mind! And Kate Rusby too. But Kate was busy.

I have been to Barnstable, photos, piano and Eva’s voice working perfectly to create an evocative picture of place, people and time.

[@NikNewark]

I haven't actually knowingly been to Barnstaple, as it happens. I have no idea whether this song evokes it. It might be more Winchesterian.

Your work always brings a smile and a stir stick for the brain. :) Eva sounds wonderful.

[@NikNewark]

She does!

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Eva's vocals are a match for your sound Nik.

[@NikNewark]

Thank you, Ms Kaleidoscope! :-)

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

@@NikNewark highly lovely and delightful ⚘

[@songdoer]

Such a mellow and timeless ballad. Is this the definition of torch song?

[@Firebrand55]

Nik and Eva; fabulous! Sixty years I've been going in and out of Barnstaple, never hearing anything like your song.This is totally original and a great credit to you both!.....now try Landkey, Swimbridge, Braunton Burrows.....how about Saunton Sands?! This is one to bookmark, people....if you live in the area!...11/10

[@NikNewark]

Thank you! Please share far and wide (or as far as Braunton Burrows anyway!)
