Broadjam Artist: Delta Burnett Reed
Song: Hundred Years War
Reviewer: Ian Graham
Positive Comments: A simple, traditional-style tune well sung in a slightly quavering style. Repetitive backing enhances the hypnotic effect. The lyrics, gory enough in places, are presumably about the Hundred Years’ War (between England and France, with occasional breaks for refreshments). “A war that lasts a hundred years must never come again.” Indeed. A good anti-war sentiment. Although, looking at some of the people now either in office or running for it, a much shorter war seems more likely.
Constructive Comments: Occasionally difficult to make out the lyrics, which is a pity as I’m sure they’re all worth hearing. But a great overall effect. Good luck with it.
