It's interesting to compare the two versions.
Christy has "edited" Kevin's original version and, to my ears, lost some of the poetry.
But, it's great to see Kevin's talents being recognised - eventually!

michaelr: The composer is Kevin Littlewood who comes from Southport in the UK.
He's a terrific folk artist. He's his take on the song - via Youtube.

Here's a Youtube link to Christy Moore singing on a Irish Tv show a couple of days ago.
In this clip he sings the very moving "On Morecambe Bay".
