    If that's any indication of the quality of songs you have hidden away in your cupboard, I think you owe it to the world to dig a few more gems out. Beautiful rendition.

    This is absolutely fit for commercial release exactly as it is, Mr Bragg. Brilliant. Can't do wrong with anything by Eric Bogle.

    I have listened to this song dozens of times. My Father and his family were from Belfast. My Grandpa was a WWI Irish Army Vet. We became Quakers as a result. Every Sunday in the 70's the men would gather around the TV in the front room and watch the news from Belfast while the women cooked in the back of the house. Years later, I gladly alienated my Orange relatives and favor reunification. Here's to a united Ireland.

      Was it Eric Bogle? He always has the best lyrics. Eg. The Green Fields of France

      ​@user-ug9lh2sn7t Indeed, Eric Bogle
      He's a woefully underexposed Scottish-Australian folk song writer and musician. He's written a lot of real gems over more than 50 years of his career.

      Billy, Michael, Nathalie Merchant and The Coal Porters played Olomouc, Czech Republic in 1990. Michael used the name of the town in R.E.M. Disappear song lyrics in 2001...

      Michael featured in Billy's album Don't Try This At Home in the song You Wake Up My Neighborhood, together with Peter Buck. Peter also features in the wonderful cover of Everywhere in the same album. You should check both out

      It's from their 1990 tour through the post-revolutionary ex-soviet bloc together with Nathalie Merchant. You can find some shitty quality videos from Prague, with Merta translating, it's lovely :-)
