about

One of the best Christmas songs I know. Sydney Carter is, in my opinion, a great song-writer.
Our version is menacing and we use bass octave singing to some effect, I hope. I like the arrangement, it's insistent, dramatic and most of all, Carter's words ring true.
He turned up at a folk club gig to hear our version of his creation "Lord of the Dance", about which he was exceedingly kind. I truly hope he also heard our version of this one.
