The much loved soundtrack to the Sharpe TV series has many of its songs performed by John Tams who played Daniel Hagman in the Sharpe TV series. Others are played by Dominc Muldowney, Kate Rusby, The Band of the light Division and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

As well as the theme music from the TV Series. It also includes a selection of soldiers folks songs from the period, that reflect the thoughts, hopes, aspirations and complaints of common soldiers at the time. Of which Spanish Bride is a track that Stands out.
