I can't remember Andrea Haines singing folk before having only heard her sing with the flawless Voces8. This is a treat.

Classical singers often have difficulty in adapting to folksong but Andrea makes quite a good fist of it .

As soon as Andrea draws breath I know Im going to cry

I wish Andrea would release a small album of songs like this. I would buy it in a second her voice is incredible [Blake is totally welcome to stay if he plays the guitar the whole time xD].

Is there nothing this lovely woman can’t sing. Gorgeous!

What a lovely voice. I've heard Andrea with Voces8, and she is wonderful in that group. On her own she also shines.

Beautiful!!! Andrea you are an angel singing ...

Love you Andrea and Blake! Great music.

Gosh, such a beautiful song and Andrea Haines sings as wonderfully as ever.

Oh my! This is the best, so beautiful!! Andrea and Blake, you are so talented! 😍 Love you guys!

She has the voice of an angel.

Oh my friends! What a beautiful version ... loaded with simplicity and tenderness!

This is the first time I’ve heard her individual rather than her choral voice. It’s so much more … delicate.

Whatta canny champion wyae o' singin' an' playin' wor luv'ly Geordie Ballad! Me favourite lyrical tenor isn't half a genius on the guitar, aa'm afryate! How can georgeous singers like Andrea and Blake be so versatile? Aal best from yer German Geordie Werner. Waye aye! 'German Geordies' will aalwyez celebryate wor beluv'd North!

My two favorite performers together are fantastic.

My goodness, is there anything you folks do that ISN'T perfect? Beyond beautiful, thank you!

This is the definition of versatility. I am just amazed at how Andrea can switch styles with a completely different (and always appropriate) tonal color. Bravo to you both! Beautifully done!

This woman is a diamond !

An amazing rendition from two incredible musicians

Perfect, exquisite, sublime, unpretentious and utterly breathtaking. Thank you x

A beautiful song and a truly magnificent performance. Thank you.

Enchanting!

As a Tynesider, this touched me deeply. Wonderful.

Oh yes! My 2 favourites from voces8!!😍

Agreed, but I deeply miss Eleonor.

Nice arrangement by Blake and Andrea sounds phenomenal in the "English Folk Singer" style!

An Angel.

What a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL job on this lovely piece!!!! Andrea's voice is SO FINE ! ! ! Blake's mastery and quiet passion on the Classic Guitar is five star - blended SO well with the feel of the music; and his harmonies are gorgeous too!!! WONDERFUL JOB ! ! ! ! THANK YOU ! ! ! !

so lovely, so simple, just stunning...

That's a completely different thing than what I am used from Voces8. And I love it! :) _As somebody who grew up singing in a boy's choir and has been into folk music for a long time, this is the perfect addition._

Absolutely beautiful! well sung and well played, a perfect combination! We could do with a lot more from these two. Well done both!

So intimate. Love the raw acoustics with your voices and guitar.

You excell in all genres … amazing

This was just what I needed tonight. Choked me up.

Gave this Geordie in the US a tear in me e’e.

This is the song we sang in music lesson at senior school in Blyth, not an easy song to learn and we certainly did not sound as good as Andrea. A beautiful recording.

Absolutely beautiful.

This is so beautiful! The arrangement and the singing are superb! This is musicianship from the highest level. Very nice chords on the guitar...

Such a perfect voice! Thank you!

So beautifully performed! Thank you so much!

So beautiful-could listen for hours!

Thank you, that was ever so wonderful! Thanks a lot!

We are singing this in our choir concert tonight and was really surprised my favourite soprano singing it with Blake’s great accompaniment.

Beautiful arrangement and a lovely lyrics.

Beautiful son and singers

Best version of this song that I've seen on KZread. Could you guys do the Wellerman?

So beautiful!!

Przepiękny Śpiew oraz akompaniament. Gratuluję. PL

Angels singing...

Stunningly beautiful-Watching from Wyoming. Thank You!❇️

Very nice indeed👌😊

Oh my! Just listened to v8 and Blake's arrangement of Finlanda. Can it get any better?

I am playing this version at my father's funeral this Friday (20th Aug) - hope you guys don't mind! He is from South of the river and my mother from the North, so this beautiful folk song fits the bill perfectly.

To hear Andrea's voice is enough to fall in love with her. Blake does a nice job too. But he can never be Andrea. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

Just great

nice. - I love Voces 8, but sometimes I wished I could see more closeups, so this was very welcome. I can need all the beauty in the world to lift my heavy heart sometimes. And beauty I see.

I thought I recognized Andrea from Voces8 - another incredible a capella group!

Veddy nice.

I would love to hear more of this side of Andrea's art. Can a woman sing "Barbara Allen" or "Matthew, Mark, and Luke and John?" I'd love to hear almost any of the traditional songs that Alfred Deller recorded with Desmond Dupré back in the fifties and sixties.

Are there more songs on here by this duo? Absolutely outstanding!

❤️❤️❤️

Love it! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And now that your careers in arranging music has taken off, your next assignment is ,"Savior of the Nations, come". The history is worth the effort. Supposedly written by Ambrose, Bishop of Milan around 374 AD, who is also credited with developing antiphonal chants, and translated by Martin Luther, circa 1524, "Nun Komm der heiden heiland" (later a Bach contata, same name)... There are several versions on You Tube even one in 6 parts but none as beautiful as you could produce and sing. I had to pull up this music last night to get some of your melodies out of my head, which is a compliment. From someone who spent 5 years on the shores of L. Michigan.

These two would be super couple...

Good version; owes a lot to the Dransfields, I think. Best bits when Blake joined in.

Ouf ! Nous avons les arbres, les fontaines, les oiseaux, les enfants, la prière et Voces8 sinon cette pauvre terre serait invivable ! La Beauté sauvera le monde !

Any plans for a CD?

Wey man bonny lass ya a canny chanter 😀( I listen to voces 8 a lot ) I even detect a little bit north east twang there

zo eerlijk, broos en breekbaar: muziek die gaat recht naar de mens in ieder van ons ongrijpbaar.. en daarna stilte aub; geen applaus, gewoon samen zijn... Is dat niet wat muziek betracht?

Beautiful song fantasticly performed but its Hinny not Hunny

A perfect folk voice. But it’s a Geordie song, so it’s “Hinny”, not “Honey”.

The guitar sounded terrible. Why? His mails were not polished correctly. Listen to a classical guitarist such as David Russell. His nails are polished correctly, and his tone is great. A single note sounds deep, mellow and rich. Like a piano. A single note by this guitarist sounds sharp, not mellow, No richness. A pain to listen to. Learn how to polish your nails or use a pick. Study how classical guitarists produce such a rich tone. This tone sucked. Nice guitar arrangement, good singer.

I kind of agree, as a classical guitar player. However, the Geordie fishermen who first sang this would undoubtedly not have filed their nails and polished them after a shift on the trawlers! “Howay man, pass me some 2000 grit sandpaper with ma Newcy Brown, canny lad!” We’re so used to perfect performances from Voces8 and other pro outfits on KZread, but it was great to hear this. Raw and uncut. Andrea’s voice is purity itself. Great versatility from Blake. 👏👏

Heaven forbid a classical guitar should sound like a piano, and perhaps he can't afford such a mellow guitar, I certainly never could have afforded such an instrument and I worked on my nails.
