In The Bleak Mid-winter - Chris Brain (Bert Jansch inspired version)

Happy 1st day of winter one and all, today is the shortest day of the year in the UK, on wards and upwards from here. The sun will soon take back the sky x

I just listened to both of your albums and immediately forwarded them to one of my besties. He’s battling Stage 4 cancer. We discovered Bert Jansch, Nick Drake and all the other masters as teenagers. To be able to send him your music- which is literally “fresh as a sweet Sunday morning” is like finding long-lost letters from an old friend-so familiar and so new at the same time. Wishing you all the best and thank you…Here’s to the returning of the Light! 🌟🌞

Hello and thanks for sharing your message with me! I hope your dear friend enjoys the album and makes a full recovery! I am crossing my fingers.
Thanks for your lovely words too, I’m ever so glad you enjoyed my music. Merry Christmas x

Discovered you via UA-cam Chris whilst searching for Nick Drake covers. Your ND covers are lovely, but your own music is a revelation. The very spirit of Nick, Bert (Jansch) and John (Renbourn). Entrancing. My wife and I are both into our 70's now, and finding you and your music has been a real treat. We are coming to see you in Frome next year! Have a happy and peaceful Christmas.

What do you use as audio interface? Your sound is very sweet, I'm looking for a good one.

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

Aup, I use a Scarlett interface, cheap and cheerful

[@lukerea3406]

Absolutely love this! Do you have a transcription or tab?

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

Hello, I don't I'm afraid, I just sounded it out! It's in drop D, based around the D chord then going up to G then A, fairly steady!

[@david-vk6gw]

[@ChrisBrainMusic]

It’s a cheap Martin replica! A Sigma! The strings are 2 years old, nice and warm x

[@DylanEdwardsMusic]
