From Clare To Here

This is a Ralph Mctell song , a very underated British singer / songwriter , probably famous for one song , The Streets of London , but in fact wrote many great songs , he wrote this while working on a building site before he was signed by a record label, telling of the loneliness of his fellow irish workmates
Immediately drawn by the vocal sound on this. So full and resonant. Still can understand the lyric. Like the first person thing you do.
I used to sing this when I lived in Dublin-Your version is better :) Al
Very well done,great tune.
What a tonic! Gentle, intimate, peaceful... Mix is also outstanding (IMVHO).
I must admit that I don't know any of McTell's songs except "Beautiful Dreamer" and "Streets Of London". But I don't think the original version of this song can be much better than yours. :) Very well done again, Rob. Although I'd prefer to hear you sing more original songs as those I've had the pleasure to listen to were awesome. Regards, Steffen
Oh my! What a cover! This is wonderful. Ralph McTell is a huge favouite of mine. I love your voice, my you're folky. Perfect guitar too!
What a pretty song! I'm guessing you are meaning the Clare in Ireland. I actually spend a few years in Clare, Australia. The song works well for there too. I enjoyed this a lot.
