This CD gathers together a remarkable series of live performances from the late 1970s from one of the most innovative, influential and respected musicians of the mid twentieth century.

• “These late 70s recordings are truly special. They capture Nic Jones at his finest.” Uncut

• “It’s magic of real snap and tensile strength. It feels like a definitive way to get in touch with the tradition – an egoless trip with ancient voice.” The Independent

• “Reaffirms Nic’s rightful legend as a colossus of the folk revival with his relaxed vocal style, his light innovative, percussive guitar accompaniments and his unique way of storytelling. Just hearing him creates a warm glow of recognition, familiarity and joy.” fRoots
