I was copied into a Tweet yesterday by @Morose68 that included Horslips& #39; version of The Snow that Melts the Soonest. I did a version of that with the Athletes, but we& #39;d learned ours from Anne Briggs& #39; singing, like a great deal of the trad songs I do - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv_hasUk74Q">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
But here& #39;s our version. I think we can all agree it& #39;s G.A.F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl9u1o69ifk">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
As a song, it& #39;s been recorded thoosands o& #39; times, but my favourite, aside from Annie Briggs& #39;, is Dick Gaughan& #39;s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppcyTF-YJ1k">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
and I remember being quite fond of @elizacarthy& #39;s take - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv6KK2dm07k">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
And a shout out to Archie Fisher, of course - from 1968 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiXZWtmutIo
The">https://www.youtube.com/watch... song was first noted down in the early C19th, I think.

And this was our version of & #39;Edward& #39;, from our 2004 album & #39;Just Beyond the River& #39; - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBcm3uSFnBs">https://www.youtube.com/watch... That& #39;s Reuben on the harpsichord. I think Faisal did the wine glasses and maybe @FourTet on slide guitar.
And I learned & #39;Edward& #39; direct from this recording by the great Jean Ritchie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZiEU6C9ZZA">https://www.youtube.com/watch... -
But I love Nic Jones& #39; version with the fiddle - ">https://youtu.be/oazDi0QSq...
And also Jeannie Robertson& #39;s & #39;My Son David& #39; - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykOBpsVMN1s
