Barry, are you a Ewan fan?? There's a question about Ewan MacColl I'd like to ask that might make me look a little daft, but hey here goes anyway.

I've seen Christy Moore perform many times, and I know he's never been reluctant to play the odd Ewan MacColl song here and there. He's also never been reluctant to use the odd member of the MacColl family on one or two of his recordings. Here's the question;

Whilst watching Christy play, he picked up a bass guitar, and soley on bass and vocal he performed a song called "Green Island". To this day I could swear that he announced prior to performing this song that he stated that it was a song that Ewan had written, but I've never been able to verify it. Through the internet I've been able to verify that Christy performed the song and also that Ewan had perfomed the song prior, but I've never been able to pin who actually wrote the song. Anyone offer any input??

Sorry if this a dumb question that I really should know the answer to, but I would like to know.
