My final selection from Dark Fields is the closing song, High Germany / Molly Oxford.
This excellent version is a live recording and sees Show of Hands accompanied on vocals by the angelic voice of Kate Rusby.

My penultimate selection from this week's album is the haunting song The Bristol Slaver.
This harrowing Show of Hands song portrays the pain of the slave trade and how its ghosts are still heard in Bristol.

Today's selection from Dark Fields is a traditional folk song, given a West Country Show of Hands twist.
Flora or Flora, Lily of the West, is a song of love, betrayal and murder, the staples of good folk music.

Today's selection from Dark Fields is one of the livelier songs on the album.
The song, Longdog, a song about poaching became a firm Show of Hands favourite highlighting their wit and irony.

My penultimate selection from As You Were is the song Cousin Jack, a song that has taken on anthem status for Show of Hands.
Cousin Jack is a powerful track about the exodus of the Cornish during the 19th century.

My second selection from As You Were is the song Crow On The Cradle.
A 1960's anti-war song that Show Of Hands have very much made their own.
With Phil Beer's haunting vocal its a very powerful and poignant song.
