Thread Name: Origin: Song for Ireland (Phil and June Colclough)
Subject: RE: Origin: Song for Ireland (Phil and June Colclough)
Dick Gaughan makes a salient point about this song in his sleevenotes for Handful of Earth.
He says "I don't think it could have been written by anyone Scots or Irish as it is not an inside view but there is something about it which appeals to us, with its echoes of Yeats."
