This song is not a folk song but it is sung by Teddy Thompson who is the son of British folk musicians, Richard & Linda Thompson. Rufus Wainwright, son of Kate McGarrigle & Louden Wainwright is playing the organ at around 1:48 on the vid.

Nice one Sunny, Richard Thompson is an amazing guitar player ... Looks Like Teddy is following in his footsteps.

Here's Nick Harper I saw him with his dad Roy many years ago they were great.

Love it Sox! I had never heard of Nick before. Gee, what talented offspring.

I am cranky! I tried to open the Teddy Thompson one I put up and it won't open, yet I can see the whole thing on youtube ................. wtf.

I have seen Nick a few times, playing with his father, on his own and with a band. Once I saw him and it sounded like he had a full band on stage but there was only him and a drummer, what a great musician.
