When Ifirst had my own band with my friend Martin I played the accordion and he was the main singer, it was called Braveheart. He said that the writer of this song was by a Glasgow born singer named Matt McGinn... when I look at this song myself I know the words that were written in 1877 by Francis D. Henry whereas McGinns' were from 1966. The song was about a pub in Glasgow which was where he first heard it sung.This is great information and I can use it to do a review myself, thanks - Joe
