When June Tabor did Eric Bogle's *No Man's Land*, they really played *The Flowers of the Forest* reel in a finale.

Of course, there is a Scottish pipe tune called *Bonaparte's Retreat*.

*Oh take me away boys, for me time is not long* - it's from a popular Irish song called *Fiddler's Green*. It's about place *...where the fishermen's go/ If they don't go to hell*. :-)

The old Irish rebel Band Wolfe Tones have put on their album titled *Spirit of the Nation* two related songs. An old woman, the main character of *Down by the Glenside* is singing the chorus of *Bold Fenian Men*, actually the next track.

I personally think it's a good thing (or should I say *a good tradition*?) that some new songs and some old ones have common points. Very attractive feature of traditional music, when nobody cares of that god damned copyrights.
