Must be a lucky country having such women and singers!

I saw a man get up and sing this unaccompanied in the Irish Centre, Hammersmith; I don't think he was a pro singer but he did a grand job. It was pure and simple and very moving. This vid is very emotive too, it's a great song.

Maybe you have seen some TV-stations that broadcast in this format where the image then looks way too tall on a normal TV ( as it does here on YT ) ? - unless it's relatively new and has compensation for this.You may be able to find (free) video software that can "de-anamorph" this video into a normal 4:3 format - I guess the great, free and very versatile media conversion programme called Super will be able to do it.

Ok, thanks - but please keep any eye out for it - I have only heard Ralph play it on his own, and would love to hear them together.Ah, yes - it's to make it look natural on the wide screen, while still using all the horizontal lines - called "anamorphic 16:9" format.

No i don't have that one with Mary & Ralph singing it, though i would like to hear ir if anybody else has it.that was my fault it was the way i recorded it, i recorded it from a portable tv that has a built-in video player, onto a a dvd player that was is connected to a wide screen tv, and when you upload it to YT the film comes up as the same size as the portable tv screen, and i can't get it to come up as widescreen. i don't do it now. thanks for the comment

Love that song - great version.Would anyone happen to have a clip of Mary Black & Ralph McTell singing it ?I know they did some time ago (80's, I think).Btw. What a weird TV format they have in Ireland - is that the rare 9:16 format ? ;-)
