When Sydney Carter died in March 2004, his obituary in The Guardian anointed him ‘folk poet, holy sceptic, and iconoclastic theologian’.

Franciscus Henri knew the songs on this CD forty years ago. In 1972 he was chosen accompanist on Sydney’s tour of Australia. These songs are part of the performer’s continuing journey.
