Damn! I hit one of the goffers and missed the Decommissioning Song the first time.

After reading this thread a young Irish busker popped into my memory. I met Mark McArdle or McArtey in a pedestrian underpass while visiting London in 1969. He was singing to passers by and trying to make a living. There were many anti-British slogans that were spray painted on the walls behind him. I listened to his repertoire and we talked about the ongoing conflict. He was very pleasant, but somewhat fatalistic about all the violence. He looked as though he hadn't eaten for days, so I offered to pay him for his tunes by treating him to Wimpy's. We talked for about an hour and then we said goodbye. I would like to know what ever happened to Mark. I think he would be about 50 now. Do any of you UK Mudcatters know if Mark is still singing.
