Vin Garbutt was one of my favourite folk artists, sadly taken from us too soon.

Driving yesterday I heard this on the radio. Didnā€™t catch the singer but just googled ā€˜bad news songā€™ and worked through the videos until I found Moon Martin. Very catchy song. And an old one, as well. Apparently heā€™s very big in France. Excellent driving song. Moon Martin - Bad News
