Love the mood and feel of this song - very reminiscent of the music on HM's first LP in 1970. That's been a favourite ever since it was first released. When I sold a lot of my old vinyl some years ago, that was one of the collection that just had to be kept. You do hear quite a bit of their later music, but not too much from that first wonderful set of songs.
"Mr Hiscock" (the writer, singer and member of HM) became an English teacher and was the best teacher I ever had.... great guy. It was 1983 and during a General Studies lesson he played us his band's album and invited us to critique it... we didn't realise until at the end he confessed it was him... I was privileged!
I am glad that you felt privileged Mark and that you posted your comment. I had never heard of this band till a few minutes ago. There are so many bands, people, things that the vast majority of us never hear of and/or never encounter. A lot of the time I don't think we even know we have encountered it/them ... or whatever. When we do though - we don't forget.
Beautiful song, this realy touch my soul so much. Today I got the Hunter Muskett album. Love their version aswell, to be honest the beauty of it made me cry. Music is amazing!!!!!
You simply turned the radio off and went to bed, or watched the telly. John Peel was playing Bridget St John, Kevin Ayers, Kevin Coyne et all between 10 and 12. Wonderful nights of discovery
@vegetubleman .....You were probably listening to the wrong programmes. John Peel was a big fan and played her music a lot on his show, and was less inclined towards the Osmands.
Saw them at the Egremont folk club in Cumbria during the early 1970s. A great night. This track still evokes strong emotions now. I still have the album.
spectacular song!! No one has such a voice.. so vunerable sensitive without being a childs voice. guess you have to love that lyrical/melancholic sound
@esme1955 I think I can remember that gig though it was a long time ago! Wherever you are now, try and catch us on our re-uniion tour in the Autumn. See Doug Morter's site for details. And my daughter's name is Esme so say hello if can come along. Terry Hiscock
@maximillionmarcopolo Glad you like the song. Hunter Muskett have started playing it again at their recent re-union gigs. Check Doug Morter's web site for details of our next tour and I'll sing it for you if you come along. All the best, Terry Hiscock
i learnt this from a girl called Stella in Knaresborough in 1975 and never knew where it came from. I've loved it ever since and so glad that you tube made me aware it came from Terry Hiscock via Bridget St John. Thank you so much for this song posting
I love this, and the album it came from. I saw this band in the 70s in Norfolk.
Exquisite....memories almost lost

Saw them on Wally Whyton's Country Meets Folk in 1973. On the same show was the legendary Harvey Andrews!
Amazing. Ok, so where's the rest of the show ?!!
I’m sure this is a track from the Bradley’s sampler album “Bradley’s Roadshow” which is a comp of various acts on the label at the time.
It took me 45 years to discover this song and this singer, and I love her!

Hello, John. If you go to the Hunter Muskett site and drop us a line we'll send details to you. Thanks for taking an interest.
Hi, do you have any other tracks you could add from this amazing album? Thanks!
Hi there, is there any chance you could put up the whole LP? Cheers
Used to play this back in the early 80s with a friend of mine - 2 harmony guitars. Beautfiul song.
Saw them live three times - still one of my all-time favourite bands 40 years on. Saw their final ever gig - first time round at Preston Folk Club
one of Hunter Muskett's best - lovely to hear it covered
I just discovered her for myself. Talk about being late to the party! But i love her voice and songs.
One of my favourite songs ever. Will be played at my funeral.
i grew up w this album ,good 70s memories .this vinyl is very rare esp. in the u.s. ! when will this finally come out on c.d. ...l.p. ?

Beautiful. Gets to me every time.
What a beautiful song and a wonderful voice. I have tears in my eyes. Thank you!!!!
@jeanfeil because not madonna to buy her fame with her body

I spent much of 1972 listening to Slade, T Rex and the Osmonds. Why didn't we hear more of Bridget on the radio?
That's a very good question-it certainly wasn't pushed at anyone younger than college age back then.
