Pretty Saro

A recording from one of our practices. We got this from the Sacred Harp, a very fine collection of sacred songs and spirituals, usually sung in spine-tingling four part harmony by a roomful of people sat in a hollow square. 

We have quite a few hymns in the repertoire. The religious have been nicking tunes from the secular for years, so turnabout is fair play.

Wayfaring Stranger

Growing (The Trees They do Grow High)

Fuck The Tories

Piers is baker by day and very early morning, a folk singer by night, a computer programmer when he has to and a photographer when he gets the chance.
