Oak, Ash and Thorn is an English folk song adapted from Rudyard Kipling's poem 'A Tree Song', which was included in his fantasy book Puck of Pook's Hill. Peter Bellamy set it to music in his album of the same name, the first of many Kipling-inspired albums that would become the signature genre of Bellamy's discography. The poem praises the oak, ash and hawthorn trees as the most useful and ancient trees of England, placing them above the yew, alder, beech, and elm trees in terms of utility and history.

This channel is dedicated to preserving the neglected culture of English folk songs in the form of short lyrical videos. The folk songs of the English have been overlooked compared to those of the other British peoples, something that this channel hopes to fix.
