YouTube video by zoltec009 Nick Drake - Northern sky (1970)

this week's folk & acoustic favourite is Nick Drake's northern sky An artist who is probably more appreciated after his passing than while he was alive. 3 great albums but as I have said before I can't explain why this track resonates more than others

YouTube video by Peter Gabriel Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up (ft. Kate Bush)

they lost their livelihoods.
perhaps it is this empathy that makes Peter the writer of great songs.
A fine protest song and any time Kate Bush sings she raises the song to sublime greatness

this week's folk & acoustic favourite is don't give up by Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush The early 1980's were a time where traditional industries were destroyed (in the name of greed?)
Peter comes from a privileged background but in this song show great empathy for those who don't and suffered as
