Vredesconcerten Passendale VP006 (2 CD, Belgium, 2005)
First performed on the 24th August 2002 at Tyne Cot cemetery, Seeds of Peace (Children of the Great War) is a suite of songs and instrumental music specially created for the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Passchendaele Peace Concerts. Arranged and directed by Laurent Audemard of the French brass and wind ensemble Une Anche Passe, the suite commemorates Flanders as the battlefield of choice for warring Western European nations over the past 500 years. The music ranges from childrens' song of the 17th century to work by Jacques Brel and material specially commissioned for the peace concerts of today. Seeds of Peace offers a compelling evocation of the pain and futility of war, performed by a remarkable ensemble of 21 singers and musicians from across Europe.

Literally everything June Tabor does is gold.
Perfection, just perfection. Achingly evocative film recalls every stop on the important Battlefield Tour we undertook a few years back - and, with this wonderful music overlaid, it reminds, soothes and heals.
Pray for peace, and believe in peace for their sake and our own.
the 3 at their absolute best.... this is what you get when you believe in what you're singing about....
Beautifully edited and presented. We will have much more of this during the next four years. Their album Flanders Fields is well recommended, especially 'Spring 1919'.
The title should read as June Tabor and Coope Boyes & Simpson.
Here I sit on Butternut Hill, Who could blame me, cry my fill? And ev'ry tear would turn a mill; Johnny has gone for a soldier. Chorus: Shule, shule, shule agra, His pick and shovel are laid away Till he comes back, I'll rue the day Johnny has gone for a soldier. With fifes and drums, he marched away; His orders came, he could not stay. Till he comes back, I'll rue the day Johnny has gone for a soldier. I'd sell my ruck, I'd sell my reel, I'll even sell my spinning wheel, To buy my love a coat of steel; Johnny has gone for a soldier.
