"Witness" is the ninth studio album by Show of Hands. The album was recorded in January 2006 at Presshouse Studio, Colyton, Devon, and was produced by Simon Emmerson and Simon ‘Mass’ Massey from the Afro Celts, who helped to incorporate elements of traditional African, ambient and electronic dance music with the duo's characteristic folk style. It was released in May 2006 on the Hands on Music label (HMCD23).

"If I Needed Someone"

"If I Needed Someone" was originally recorded in 2005 for the BBC Radio 2 show "Rubber Folk", which celebrated the 40th anniversary of the release of The Beatles' "Rubber Soul" album.
