The fact that you guys appreciate Sandy Denny and Ian Anderson (referencing another video) again tells me that you had parents that had great taste in music and made sure that you heard it.
I've loved this song ever since it was performed by Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention (much better than when she was with The Strawbs) and I play their version very regularly. I've also listen to numerous other cover versions and none have come up to the standard set by her - until now. I really like this version as it stays true to Sandy's while still adding original parts too. It maintains that clear simplicity of sound. Thank you.
Thank you my friend I really appreciate this comment, as Sandy is my favourite singer so I’m glad you thought we did her song justice. She also has a great version available on UA-cam of just her singing the song with an acoustic guitar, you should check it out if you get the chance!
I just spent the past two days searching for my favorite version of this song. Of cousre, I started with Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention. Then to Judy Collins and Eva Cassidy. But this cover is by far the best to my ears. Love its sincere simplicity and reverent tone. Well done!
Beautiful version. Captures the feel of the original (which I’ve loved and listened to ever since discovering Fairport while in HS back in 76). Great job on all parts but especially the vocals and the guitars. Loved RT lead guitar work on this song and this - while different - does evoke RT’s feel. Well done!
Thanks Charles, we really appreciate the compliment about evoking Thompson’s feel, he one of our favourite guitarists and fairport wouldn’t of been the same without him
@@thomasbradleyproject5676 That's correct. Several versions by Sandy, Blacksmith have a nice version, and of course Judy Collins had a commercial version.
Absolutely lovely. Felt every note. I've always been fond of the Judy Collins rendition, but in the hands of a really good tenor this was magical. Great rendition! Thanks for putting in the work.
Wow, this kicks major ass! I bought Unhalfbricking on vinyl in a used record store back in 1985 and this is a favorite of mine. You guys did an amazing version of this incredible track. Thank you.
Sensacional covers... Another asks for you, guys: - James Taylor - Fire and Rain - Jim Croce - Time In a Bottle - Jethro Tull - We Used to Know - Jethro Tull - My God * The artists' initials being "J" was not on purpose LOL Greets from Brazil!
You guys are excellent interpreters. You don’t play cover versions so much as you perform faithful yet individually distinctive renditions. Fairport is one of my favourite bands, I saw them open for Jethro Tull back in the late ‘80s here in New Orleans.
I like to think “I know things” lol re good music and trust me when I say this is so beautifully done. The story of Sandy Denny and her untimely death is one of those real Bi polar tipe tragedies imo
Wonderful version. I saw the Lady sing it live and she would have approved. ❤
This is a good cover of one of the greatest folk/rock songs of all time. keep it up boys. These songs need to kept alive.
I want this played at my funeral!
Fantastic. Keep this train going
Great cover boys

They do indeed my friend Thanks so much! Please give our originals a gander if you’re feeling kind, I think they’ll be up your street :)
One of my favourite songs, love the version, and the voice. Cheers
Most excellent
Warm, heartfelt rendition, I love Thomas' touching voice.
Thanks blues juice, can’t compare with Sandy Denny but I tried my best!
This is very very good and wonderful to see young people aware of such an old classic
Perfect diction. Well done. That is the point of failure for so many.
Thanks Roy, as a scouser that’s the first time anyone has said that lol
Incredibly beautiful
Thanks so much Anne! Please give our originals a gander if you’re feeling kind, I think they’ll be up your street :)
Brilliant!
You’re too kind friend :)
Beautiful rendition, beautiful voice
A fine version. Bravo le trio!
The best cover I've ever heard of this classic, it rivals the original!

My familaty of this is STRAWBS with Sandy Denny and of course Fairport Convention, seen Stawbs do this live many times.Great job!
Beautifully done! So nice to see the appreciation of good music by generations of musicians! Beautiful rendition! Thank you!
Thanks for listening, and yeah good music will live forever, especially a bit of the old fairport :)
Great job. You did it full justice.
Thanks so much!
Nicely done lads...
You did her proud with this..
And made me smile
Beautiful x
The bass player is the greatest. I like that.
Amazing!!

Thanks so much you’re too kind Edwin! Please give our originals a gander if you’re feeling kind, I think they’ll be up your street :)
I might also suggest Kate Rusty, if you’ve not been there already. Happy Christmas.
Really nice! Loved the bass lines when they came in
Glad you like it mate!
Really wonderful - thank you
Thank you too!

WOW! Best version I've ever heard.
Thanks friend, not many covers of this one out there so we had to try our best!

Wow, thank you! I feel I could sing it better nowadays but if you enjoyed maybe I’m overthinking haha
Beautiful cover of a great Sandy Denny song.
Well done guys. Thank you from an " Oldy" music lover .
Wishing you a great future ! 👍🙂
Thanks so much! Please give our originals a gander if you’re feeling kind, I think they’ll be up your street :)

Magnificent
Wonderful! You lads did the song its due reverence.

Excellent.
very nice, thanks!
Beautiful

Thankyou Edward, we’re glad to have impressed a fairport veteran such as yourself!
Sensacional covers... Another asks for you, guys:
- James Taylor - Fire and Rain
- Jim Croce - Time In a Bottle
- Jethro Tull - We Used to Know
- Jethro Tull - My God
* The artists' initials being "J" was not on purpose LOL
Greets from Brazil!
@walkofftheearth I would love to see you collaborate with these young geniuses
Too much. Too beatifull. Too amazing.
Thank you so much 😀
You guys are excellent interpreters. You don’t play cover versions so much as you perform faithful yet individually distinctive renditions. Fairport is one of my favourite bands, I saw them open for Jethro Tull back in the late ‘80s here in New Orleans.
Two of my favourites bands on one show! You’re a lucky man!
Well done!
Thankyou friend glad you enjoyed!
That is very nicely done. Diolch yn fawr. Tony in Cymru
Thanks for listening Tony! Our first welsh comment! Can tuck that off the bucket list now haha!
Wow, great job, guys. Do you cover any of the great Alan Hulls music? There are several Lindisfarne songs that need to be heard by a younger audience.
Thanks a lot mate! I love lindisfarne, I think we may do a cover of lady Eleanor in the near future :)
I like to think “I know things” lol re good music and trust me when I say this is so beautifully done. The story of Sandy Denny and her untimely death is one of those real Bi polar tipe tragedies imo
Such a sad death, she was a singular talent
Your voice is sounding so heavy in this
Thanks bud
Nina Samone, Judy Collins - this sounded familiar. You're as good as anyone before you, better than the others in my opinion.
She’d be pretty happy with this version of her song, I am sure.
One could only hope Dave, I imagine she’d be very protective of this masterpiece
Impressionnant. Majestueux. Grandiose. Puissant. Fabuleux.
Wow, thanks so much for this lovely comment. You may enjoy some of our new originals if you have any time to spare :)
I have no thought of time
Wish I could say the same
Great rendition but I prefer Judy Collins’ version for timing and tempo. Just an observation. Otherwise a beautiful rendition. Just keep it alive.
Why mention your favourite version? Who cares about you? Just give them the positive feed back 🙄
Beautiful ❤
