Track taken from the album "Various – The Imagined Village". This album is now available as part of the Real World Gold series - http://realworldrecords.com/gold/
Folk used to be a four-letter word, but The Imagined Village project took it down from the shelves, dusted it off and showed how it should sound in 21st-century, multi-cultural England. Accordingly this record finds evergreen folkies like Martin Carthy, his daughter Eliza and The Copper Family rubbing shoulders with Benjamin Zephaniah and Sheila Chandra. Oh, and some bloke called Paul Weller. Not just a gripping piece of music, these recordings were crucial in helping to define Englishness in our confused and confusing times.
