OK, this song JUST played on the BBC Glastonbury coverage, but bloody Phil Jupitus mumbled the band name so I have no idea who they were. Google turns up NOTHING of use on a lyric search either.

basically, 2 man folk outfit, one with accordian, one fiddle, both singing I think. Was a traditional sounding sailors song/shanty, chorus "and the wind blows high, the wind blows low, all on the raging sea".

There's a cover version of the Zombies "she's not there" that I SWEAR exists but it doesn't seem to be one of the well known ones.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5IRI4oHKNU is the original, but I'm SURE I've heard a cover which is much slower, more chill-out style, and as far as I know doesn't include the lines on from "now let me tell you 'bout the way she looked....." to the start of the repeat (ie, everything after the first "she's not there"). Style wise it's be something more along the lines of moby, morcheeba, Massive Attack or Portishead. It may have been used in a UK TV show or advert

Thanks for the help, I had a poke around and a couple seem to be the right tempo (about half the original) but none of them match the arrangement I have in my head. It's perfectly possible I mashed up two different things I heard, and created some imaginary trip hop version of a song I heard somewhere else.

That's exactly it, thanks so much! I KNEW I didn't imagine it.
