Heart breaking as sung by the late Keith Marsden of Cockersdale.

I hope you think it's worth a look.

I hope you think it's worth a look.

Without a doubt, Ian. Very moving.

Superb - thank you

Swanmore is a lovely village, in the Meon valley - surrounded by uplands

I have heard this song sung somewhere. I have a feeling it was on the Radio 2 folk programme (dont say it ! ) I live a few miles from Swanmore and it is a nice rural area. But like anywhere the builders are getting in . I seem to remember the song was written by a local man (officer?) I wish I had listened the programme a bit more now "MO"

Radio 2 folkie programme seems about right. There are at least two recordings of this song commercially available. One is by a female group (female folk singers eh? They'll be giving them the vote next!) but the best one is sung by Keith Marsden on a Cockersdale album. Beautiful wistful quality to it.
