Sean, I sung the Clancy's "Galway Bay" once on St. Paddy's night and a middle aged woman came up to the stage and screamed at me: "if I weren't a lady I'd beat your ***** face in for singin' that crap!" Parodies can be down-right dangerous. On another occasion (still in Toronto) I answered a request for Kevin Barry and was imformed afterwards by an angry Irish visitor that he "never expected to hear this kind of filth while on vacation!" Holy Cow! It's a wonder those Clancy's weren't murdered on stage!
Shambles, I don't know the "collecting" bit! Albums here often have different content than in the UK. Perhaps they dropped that piece from the Canadian release. Damn, I want to hear it. Mine has a take off on Brendan Behan that makes me chuckle even now.
