DannyC - hilarious anecdote, very well recounted too :-> Didn't that McGuigan bout you mention take place at the Loftus Rd football ground in London ? I've never understood how a song mentioning an 'Ave' came to be seen as a source of reconciliation between the Orange and the Green - maybe that it was the 'Londonderry Air' to begin with ?? I agree with most around here that it tends to be overdone but as to banning it, a bit much... especially when we can get versions of this sort of authenticity, artistry and indomitable Irishry : Danny Boy - The Leprachaun Brothers
