    “It’s well I like your feather bed and well I like your sheets.
    But it’s better I like your lady wife, who lies in my arms asleep”.

    Silly Matty. Should have run when he heard his master’s horse approaching.

    They're still around. Still touring. Cropredy festival still going strong. I can't see them ever stopping - 57 years gone already and countless line up changes but the iconic sound remains.

    I've had loads of LPs, tapes and CDs over the years - all gone now but I have all of their music that I want in MP3 format.

    I can never decide whether I prefer this version, with Sandy Denny on vocals, or the many others I have heard with Simon Nicol singing. One thing is for sure though - any time you see them live this one will be sung, along with Meet on the Ledge of course :)
