a short and simple arrangement of the beautiful melody from Alan Bell's popular song Bread And Fishes

the late Alan Bell was a folk singer, songwriter and festival organiser and Bread And fishes is his best-known song, written in 1968 - it was featured on British TV's Songs of Praise and reached the charts in Ireland and Japan - Bread And Fishes the song is a folk-style hymn is based on the strange legend that Jesus travelled in England as a child, accompanied by his parents

the melody only is played here fingerstyle on my Doug Berch mountain dulcimer in Ionian tuning EBB (DAA but in key of E)

I'm working on a new album of waltzes at the moment and might make this the opening track (US = cut) - I think it would set the scene nicely

a simple but pleasing piece - I met composer Alan Bell at a festival and after making this film, tried to contact him - he would doubtless have like to see it - sadly, he's passed a few months earlier
