I believe that this song was included on a Dubliners record, most probably Luke Kelly some years ago. Rua now do a version, but I am, trying to find on which of the Dubliners albums this was included, perhapse a concert. A friend had a copy but it was damaged and was thrown away, unfortunatly he has forgotton the title (old age I believe)
Any Help please, Dennis

They recorded 'Jail of Cluan Meala' (according to the sleeve) on 'Plain and Simple' (1973).

And thanks for both question and answer - I'll have to look out for that Luke Kelly CD!

two threads that deal with this song are
PrĂ­osĂșin ... and Jail...

Liam Clancy also recorded the English language lyrics on a solo album
(issued by Vanguard in the 1960s, but probably reissued on CD by now)

It ia also on the Dubliners LP ' The Town I loved So Well ' from 1973.
Sang by the late great Luke Kelly of course.

By the way the album "The Best of Luke Kelly" has been out for some weeks. You might have to get your copy from an Irish source.
