Sunday morning music


In a comment to a blog post about the Royal Gorge earlier this week, reader Stephen Bayliss reminded me of the English folk duo Show of Hands and their song 'Cousin Jack' about the diaspora of Cornish miners.  I knew of it, having enjoyed their music for many years.  For those of you who don't know it, here it is.





And, for those who don't know their music at all, here's an hour-long live performance from the Shrewsbury Folk Festival in 2016.





Definitely one of the most innovative folk groups out there today.

    If you were to recommend one of their CDs as a gift, which would you pick as an introduction?

    Try "The Best Of" - it's a good collection.
