Song of the Week No. 2 - The Mummers - March of the Dawn

Although I've never met him, I consider Guy Garvey one of my favourite people. Listening to his music, or his affable manner on the radio, I feel in the company of a kind and loving person who knows me well (singing my life with his words...). So when he opened a recent BBC show with this gem, I listened, and it was wonderful. This little piece of fantastical magic with its sense of happy abandonment and fairground pomp is proof positive that Pop is alive and kicking up its heels.
