Our man Derek at the Tree Inn Folk Club in Bude (long-defunct, more's the pity) is a big fan of Harvey, and I believe (tbc!) that he got Harvey to our folk club on one occasion. I wasn't there that time. Derek was a bit reluctant to sing that song but we did persuade him on a couple of occasions. I've always known Christy's version from his early album Live In Dublin, and cherish it, but Derek sang it more slowly in measured fashion, just him and his guitar, all the more powerful for that. Great song.
