Hiya folk, I'm looking for a song I heard Tich Frier sing some years ago at whitby. Can't remember the title, it was about the Romans getting beaten/humiliated by the scots/picts. Hope someone knows the song.

Thankyou

If you're on Facebook then you can also ask the man himself.

I've sent Mr. Frier a message asking if he can identify the song and will let you know if he responds.

It's in the Digital Tradition as Grigaloo. Great song.
What IS the proper name for the song?

Hi Joe Offer
Its on the Matt McGinn CD "The best of Matt McGinn" as "The Heilan Man"

It based on an old joke known as "There's Two o Them"
