A song for to rouse us from Christmas morning you say? . . . . . . . . why of course that calls for a tale of some rowdy dow-dow when English Soldiers tried in vain to raise recruits to the Queens Army from the Irish . . . . . . . . . .
One for my Gaelic roots unashamedly!
Long gathering dust on a shelf this is Tiernan McBride's 1977 film of Paul Brady's song 'Arthur McBride'.
A wonderful document of a wonderful song.
