I think of my father when ever i hear this. WW2 British Army veteran and he loved it too. He was pulled from the cold dark waters off Dunkirk by a sailor who grabbed him by the scruff of his jacket and pulled him aboard, just before he gave up with exhaustion and drowned. A moment in time whereby my "life to be" was also in the balance!

I lived in Portsmouth for most of my life, and every time I hear this song I can't help but feel nostalgic.

I always thought he played it on the clarinet setting of a minikorg synthesizer at half speed and then speeded the tape up to simulate a recorder, like he did with Barnacle Bill, the theme tune from Blue Peter.

It's a beautiful musical photograph of a different time in history, even at the time it was composed. Without the video, i can visualise life as it was during the period that folk music was the mainstream of British culture.

Sounds and looks like popular dances from Catalunya in Spain. Ribbon dance. Take a look and enjoy It.

This instrumental piece also reached Number 2 in the Irish Singles Chart in January 1977.

No doubt, Mike Oldfield's musical ability is staggering, and he is clearly staggeringly gifted to seemingly play any instrument presented to him. It must be a genetic predisposition as his sister Sally is an amazing vocalist and his brother Terry is a successful writer / performer / producer of new age music. What is even more astonishing is he did all this whilst suffering from mental illness brought about by childhood trauma which went undiagnosed for many years, and he was plagued by panic attacks and crippling stage fright. His autobiography 'Changeling' tells the whole story in unflinching detail. It's not a self congratulatory puff piece, but I found it a truly uplifting story of Mike Oldfield's life to date. A must read for any fan.

It's played at Fratton Park every home match.

This was a favourite song at the old "Travelers Joy" pub in Portsmouth when I was in the Australian Navy and we went there for the Queens Silver Jubilee in 1977.

Music form an era when it WAS music, played and performed by real people, playing real instruments; and not so-called artists relying on electronic gadgetry and lewd wiggling. Thank you, Mike.

@@danielracovitan9779 Indeed, but he was able to put out fantastic tunes, and didn0t use electronic gadgetery to hide his inability to play music or sing. I love this tune, so wonderfully uplifting. (especially compared to some of his texts) Why is it called Portsmouth? Ah wait, artistic naming does not need any reason. ;)

Whenever anyone wanted me to put some tunes on as a teenager I’d stick this on loop to troll them 😂

I remember this being used as the theme tune to Farming Outlook made by Tyne Tees Television during the late 70's and early 80's. For years I've been trying to find out what this song was called and now I've finally found it. Even Alan Partridge liked it as he had it programmed into his keyboard.

Magical then and magical now. Thanks.
