My Old School :: One More Step | Blue Rose Code

  . . . . a few Christmas films caught the eye over the holiday and this was no exception, My Old School starring the mercurial Alan Cumming [who we like] and this extraordinary story bemused and indeed hypnotised me. It finished with this song written as a supposed modern “hymn’ by the man who wrote ‘The Lord of The Dance’of 1967 [Sydney Bertram Carter (6 May 1915 – 13 March 2004 born in Camden Town, the English poet studied at Oxford, a songwriter, and folk musician who described his work as coming from the edge of belief) another classic ‘folk’ song and for this listener a secular classic . . . . . . I love this version by Blue Rose Code and he (for indeed it is a he : Ross Wilson)  is really worth checking out . . . . . . . .
