One of The Kennet and Avon’s Musical Stars is the fabulous Angel Nash so it was an absolute privilege to have this fellow Narrowboat Dweller come all the way up to North Wales to perform for us on our home mooring. As many of you will know Angel has been a professional musician most of her life appearing in just about every festival from Glastonbury to Northumbria but still loves the thrill of busking between gigs. Here’s the second beautiful song from this lovely Lady of the Locks, ‘Fight For Wot’s Right’. A song she wrote whilst travelling in Ireland in a Bow Top, Horse Drawn Caravan and is about looking after yourself.
Love rising from the mists, Promise me this and only this, Holy breath touching me, like a wind song Sweet communion of a kiss Sun sifting through the grey Enter in, reach me with a ray Silently swooping down, just to show me How to give my heart away Once a crystal choir Appeared while I was sleeping And called my name And when they came down nearer Saying, dying is done, Then a new song was sung Until somewhere we breathed as one And still I hear their whisper Stars bursting in the sky Hear the sad nova's dying cry Shimmering memory, come and hold me While you show me how to fly Sun sifting through the grey Enter in, reach me with a ray Silently swooping down, just to show me How to give my heart away Lately sparkling hosts Come fill my dreams, descending On fiery beams I've seen 'em come clear down Where our poor bodies lay, Soothe us gently and say, Gonna wipe all your tears away And still I hear their whisper? Love, rising from the mists Promise me this and only this, Holy breath touching me, like a wind song Sweet communion of a kiss
I have included this song on here as it is so beautiful about communion between two people,
