Thread Name: Sammy Bar.. Irish version.
Subject: RE: Sammy Bar.. Irish version.
As far as I am aware the singer was an Irish guy living in Germany. I'm sure he sang the song because he liked it and I'm sure he was well aware it was written by an Englishman. And I think we can safely assume that he liked lots of English songs. The charge of 'Irish-inspired cultural anti-Englishness' does not stand up.
