Yep - I wrote the song after watching Paul sing this song at a folk festival in Redcar in the 70s. It was a stunning performance and I wrote 'The Man Who Sang Arthur McBride' after hearing it.... though it's not JUST about the performance but also a special relationship I had with someone at the time. If anyone would like the words, I could arrange to put these in the Songbook on my site - please just write to me - my email address is on my website at rosiehardman.com in the Contact Me section - just click on the little envelope. :) Rosie Hardman
