Default In The Bleak Midwinter

Just thought I'd work out a little simple version of this to finish off the year. I may have borrowed some bits from Martin Simpson's arrangement.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

All video clips taken local to my home and played on a Brook Torridge guitar in dropped D with a partial capo across the bottom four strings 2nd fret.

Lovely Version, Phil.
Holst wrote such a strong melody.... Happy new year and happy Christmas.

Simply beautiful.
Your guitar tone is so warm, and so nice to the ear.
I love this Christmas song.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. Really enjoyed hearing and seeing that.
I played it for my wife, who spent some of her younger years in Derby.
She loved it. Brought her some memories. She too, says thank you.
