Is My Team Ploughing? by Butterworth - James Newby and Panaretos Kyriatzidis 

You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch all the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my brother for the last days =)

@Luka Arian definitely, been using Instaflixxer for months myself :D

That’s unbelievably kind, thank you so much for taking the time to listen. All best to you too ☺️

Ooh, I think you like the things I like. Tell me about your opera favourites . . .

Hello Alan, I don’t think it’s a murder ballad. I interpret it as two childhood friends who went to war together and only one came back. I think this song is about the guilt the man feels for surviving when so many died and of course the guilt he feels for now being with his friend’s girlfriend.

Yes, guilt is certainly in the final stanza. Assisted by the singer's acting! I use that word, as in this wonderful performance, it is just as much a piece of theatre as a vocal piece. The vocal line, and the quality of the voice are not sacrificed though.

It's such an interesting piece especially as Butterworth himself died at he front not long after he created the music..And there is a lot of ambiguity in A. E. Houseman's words, which James brings to the performance.. I think this is the best rendition I've heard not , just the voice but his acting skills are superb.. i wish there was a verse before and after some one might write and he could sing
