It’s time for a wee musical interlude and as Donovan was given a lifetime achievement award in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards earlier in the week, I thought it would be nice to hear my favourite song of his, Jennifer Juniper, a lovely tune.
Donovan was born in Glasgow.
As this is the feast of Stephen I thought it would be nice to have a video of the carol Good King Wenceslas. There are loads of versions which have been sung by church choirs but I like this one by The Irish Rovers.
I hope you enjoy it too. I’ve always liked the name Stephen.
Patrick Kielty played this song on Radio 2 this morning and it never fails to make me smile. It’s so jaunty. Have a listen!
And yes, he is Scottish despite the name, he comes from Paisley.
