The first single from The Outlandish EP, released in April 2017. A knight of the title abducts a lady and carries her off to a deep wood or seaside, where he tells her that he has killed seven (or more) other women and plans to do the same to her. She, however, distracts him and then contrives to kill him in her stead. The song includes The Seven Stars jig in between the verses. It is a variant of a very old song which can trace its origins back 2000 years. The EP is named for another variant of the song, ‘The Outlandish Knight’. Imagined as a puppet theatre playing out the story of the song, the video also features six cameo appearances - can you spot them all? Two are famous ladies Two are characters from the East of Alexandria album A character from current popular culture A well known and much loved folk personality - who appears twice, but you will need to be eagled eyed to spot one of their appearances!
