Folk music at its brilliant best. The old stories of human stupidity shown to be shockingly contemporary.

Mr Carthy is a genuine underground legend. U.K. should celebrate this man every day!! This song should be sung in school halls in assembly’s.

Absolutely amazing how Sheema takes her jacket off, puts it on, takes it off, puts in on, etc., almost every time the camera moves away from her! And still playing without a pause. Absolutely amazing!

Ashley: YES!!! I am Here....2020 Can listen to Martin Carthy EVERY day. Wish he's play LIVE here in NY. Glad to find so many kindred spirits!!!! VERY COOL!

2021 here. Three generations of my family have been listening to Martin Carthy since the revival, my parents, me, and now my 12 year old son too. I suppose we're lucky in the UK as I've been fortunate to see him quite a few times. Hopefully NY when Covid eases.

Just goes to show that true folk music is never far from the modern world.... amazing work from all involved.... depressing nothing has really changed in 200 yrs though! Cruel Brittania is still sending our young men and women of to fight while the chickenhawks stay at home....

Wow, I am amazed that 'parties' like the BNP still exist. Doesn't this group show that such things are so irrelevant these days it's laughable? I mean, imagine someone running about crying about the ether. Surely they deserve a similar reaction?

This is a wonderful anti war song for our time. There is a novel called "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo that tells the same awful story. Hearing Martin Carthy sing it is stirring.

We had Martin Carthy performing as a guest at The Bridlington Folk Club about four years ago. He gave permission for me to video the whole performance so it could be shared with one of our members who was recovering from a stroke in hospital.

It would be far better if this beautiful song didn't have to exist. But, it seems that every generation has to write them; this could have been sung in 1919 after that barbaric butchery, or in 1819 after the Napoleonic slaughters. Probably 1719 too, some other little tiff between inbred royal cousins and their favourite bankers. I'm going to listen to it for the fifth time now. We still need a revolution, don't we ? Probably the only way to stop it.
