Hello

I believe the song Sean used to sing in Rosie O'Grady at Fremantle is called Sound of Thunder. The Fureys sing this but it is a slower version to how Sean sang it. The Fureys album is The Definitive Collection.

Hope this helps.

Heard a song I liked a few years ago sung by Sean Roche in Perth (Oz)- got the lyrics but can't remember/find the tune and wondered if anyone else knows it?
Here's the first verse and chorus:

I saw you at the Curragh in the County Kildare
where you flowed like a dream with your long black hair
then i saw you at aintree and at doncaster too
i knew the gold cup was waiting for you

i hear the sound of the thunder
i hear the sound on the earth
i hear the sound of the thunder
for who's on the turf
