Kate Rusby - The Miner's Dream of Home 

This is March, 2024, and I only just discovered this gem, Thank you Kate. Love you.

We tried for years to find this for my mother pre social media x can't believe I ve found it at last too late for her but so glad to hear it xx

So beautifully sung. Kate is a brilliant performer😀

How sad, that such a beautiful song has so few views.

This is the best song from her sweet bells album. Just so beautiful. Her voice is just so evocative and captures the sentiment of the song. Love it

my god how beautiful

I love you Kate.❤️

Beautiful 🎵

Perfection

I've just had a request for it where I sing in a Nursing Home. Thanks.

I saw the old Homestead and faces I loved I saw England's valleys and Dales I listened with joy as I did when a boy to the sound of the old village bells. The log was burning brightly, twas a night that should banish all sins? because the bells were ringing the old year out and the New Year in. That is what we sang at school to a song entitled The Miners Dream of Home. He was in the Trenches of the Great War. That is what I was expecting here. Did our music teacher get it wrong or is there two versions?

Eee by Eck us like. I do like a bit of Kate !

😀

what can lovers of folk music of England do to spread such poignant songs? Every time one clicks/types English folk music up comes everything starting from Irish, American, a few Scottish, but so very few songs of England.
