(I subsequently wrote "On The Bridge".) The above is an early draft of a song I wrote after Mairéad was executed in Gibraltar. I never got to sing it. Terry O'Neill subsequently performed a version of the song with music from Brian Moore. (For the record there is a very fine song written by Marguerita D'Arcy called "Armagh Women". A rough recording can be heard on tk13 of the Lilac Disc of the Box Set from a few years back. There are plenty of them out there.) |
