Erin go bragh is on Hamish's first LP for Transatlantic EXTRA1039
recorded in 1966...I've got most of his stuff
Hamish sang these songs with great gusto..eyes flashing and teeth bared.
On the same record he does a great version of "The foggy dew".
I'll never forget the first time I heard him live... deliver the line
"And Britannia's Huns with their long range guns,
blew death through the foggy dew"

As sang it as if he had just stood in dog shit....Ake
