She Moved Through the Fair

“She Moved Through the Fair” (or “She Moves Through the Fair”) is a traditional Irish folk song.

Here are three very different versions.

The first, simple perfection, unaccompanied from Anne Briggs

The second an orchestrated version from Harpist Loreena McKennitt, with a hint of Eastern overtones

And finally guitarist Davy Graham’s instrumental version takes us to the Bazarr and back.
