about

Me singing in the bluebell woods in Somerset where I was living in a cabin, Spring 2017.

These songs are all traditional except for Blackbird; my friend heard a lady sing it around a campfire in Devon, and asked her where the song came from. She said her husband wrote it for their wedding day. He asked if she could teach it to him and if she minded if he shares it. She was happy for him to share it, so he taught it to me, and now I am sharing it. Please get in touch if you know who wrote this.
