'Ruby - with jigs' by 'Doubting Herons'

This is my niece Lauren Dempsey, singing 'Ruby' with the group 'Doubting Herons'. (Click on the photo to open a SoundCloud window.... hopefully .... ) 

It's folk music.  You couldn't get much more folky unless you knit your own muesli.  But it's modern folk - and isn't it nice to know that people are still writing songs in a great tradition?  

After the song, there are some jigs with accordion accompaniment.  Feel free to jig around in your room - nobody is watching.

Again, one of the reasons I like this is because of Lauren's wonderful accent.  Listen out for the words 'front', 'phone' and so on.  I am not being disrespectful, I genuinely like a broad Derby accent.  I was born in Derby too, but my own accent is bland and boring;  I probably watched and listened to too much BBC.
