In the mid-eighties there was a long-drawn strike involving an Irish supermarket group, over selling South African produce. McCOll sang at a benefit concert in Dublin - and introduced a song he'd written for the occasion: "Ten Young Women and one Young man" (or "The Girls of Dublin City", as I tend to call it). Its in the DT. He also sang it on an Irish radio program, some time later, which is how I got it

Its a fine song but was never published or recorded, according to Peggy Seeger. Well, it soon will be! Our local singers circle is about to issue a CD - and I've sneaked it on!

His contribution was enormous, in so many ways.
