Haunting talent that touches the soul. She is the gold standard of folk music.

She always had a melancholy quality to her voice and demeanor, well suited to the folksongs she sang. My favorites... "Geordie" and her acapella duet with Maddie Prior, "Grey Funnel Line." Powerful...

I saw June Tabor live in Oxford in c1991 in rooms above a pub. I know from her album covers and videos of songs she looks aloof and arrogant. That was what I expected to see. But the reality was so different - and all conveyed in the patter between songs. She was warm, humble, smiley and nervous. She was like a member of the audience who hat been called up on stage and was surprised herself at the reaction she got. She presented her songs as entertainment even when they had political import. She was a regular Brummie lass who can sing amazing stuff and put on a good show. This video - above all others on KZfaq - conveys the real vibe of June Tabor the entertainer. :) Thanks June for one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

The greatest English folk singer

June was , to my reckoning, discovered by John Peel in early seventies ! I was habituated to listen to late night John Peel show on BBC radio! June had something to do with British Museum! I heard her first time ,and expected her proliferation! Very shortly, with a giggle, John introduced musical group called " Halitosis Band " ! Don't know if it still alive , or that Punk Rock ! London then was restless and tormented with Mick Jagger, Lennon ,Paul , Osibisa , chieftains,BB King, Muddy Water, Bob Marley, Hendrix, Eric Clapton et al ! I seldom missed concerts at Hammersmith Odeon and the one at Finsbury Park ! I am 80, and continue to enjoy them along with Baul musicians at calcutta. Well, Chuck Berry is immortal at all times , ya Dorothy Moore too ever young ! God bless !

I believe this is earlier than 2008. I have it recorded off BBC4 in 2004. Still a great concert, and nice to see it being shared.

June has a unique voice ideally suited to the material here. It’s such a haunting and evocative voice and there are songs on her albums that can bring tears to this grown mans eyes . A national treasure that is nowhere near acknowledged as she should be

I like Celtic folk music. June definitely has it down. She has a voice that resonates through decades.

A track list if anyone can give it would be helpful ... oh wait, thanks June, you've done it yourself!

Andy Cutting plays melodian not accordian.
