When my son was very young, when we left the car, he would always have to kiss it goodbye. 33 years later, he is just as quirky.

A top folk album consisting of 8 traditional songs that Sam Lee learnt from the English, Irish & Scottish travelling community. Lee's marvellous voice do the songs justice and the choice of the unusual musical accompaniment gives them a modern twist.
