The art of the Folk Song intro. Martin is a musical treasure.
During a trip to Ireland to perform at a TV awards do, Martin and Eliza Carthy performed a few songs at a private, unadvertised gathering for a friend, Dan McDonald. Here is a song – with long introduction – from Martin, from his 1960s repertoire, in a new/alternative setting, as recorded for a 2014 BBC TV drama soundtrack, ‘Remember Me’.

thank you for the video … shame I can't really hear much of what he's saying …
Fantastic!
Wonderful. If you ever meet Martin in person, he is the politest most humble person you could ever hope to meet, not to mention his absolutely HUGE contribution to English Folk music. I hold him in the highest respect.
And I never forget, he showed his version of this song (I know its original source) to one struggling Paul Simon who went on to make $$$$$$ out of it – and never gave Martin a penny.
Shameful
A wonderful rendition!
that's really beautiful.
Wow
