Think I only ever heard it sung live once - in an Irish folk club, probably by a visiting singer - Steve Turner, maybe? Like you, Les, I find the tune wedged in a corner of my brain. Regards |

Am I right in thinking it's on their first LP ( No CD of which is available of course) - I'd pay god money for one of those as it has "The Bright Shining Morning" on it as well as "The Hunt is up." They were a cracking act! |
