“Da Day Dawn” performed by John Fleagle. A traditional Shetland song that would be played first thing on Christmas morning. To find out more about the song, listen to this little clip by Tom Anderson explaining.

I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season. Warm hearts and hearths!

Death and the Lady-John Fleagle


She said, “Old man, what man are you?

What country do you belong unto?”

“My name is Death - hast heard of me?

All kings and princes bow down unto me

And you fair maid must come along with me.”

John Fleagle-The Hern


With silver needle and silken thread

Lully-lullay, lully-lullay

She stems the wounds where they do bleed

The falcon hath born my mate away..
