Robert Gerard Sands(Roibeard Gearóid Ó Seachnasaigh) was a political prisoner at Long Kesh prison. In 1981 he and nine others began a hunger strike for POW status.After 66 days of hunger-striking, he died.

God love, and hold you close Bobby Sands. RIP

[unisono13]

This is a great intention in pblishing this song!

Also remarkable: The beginning of the second verse (Minute: 00:51)!

[internetbrother]

Thanks but wonder what exactly you mean by 00:51

[unisono13]

Oh, well, actually, I wanted to say that, especially, your interpretation of "Van Dieman's land is a hell for a man..." is well done - and if you look at your video's time: You start with this (second) verse at

Minute 00:51.

Best wishes!

Does this not sound like a Gordon Lightfoot Song, The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald? He is Canadian I think.

[PinkJulie1031]

I was wondering if anyone else thought that it sounds just like the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I like it, though.

[tybo09]

Yeah. The guy that wrote it used the music from the Gordon Lightfoot song. I think Lightfoot borrowed it, too.

The wikipedia article for "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" doesn't say anything about Lightfoot using music from another song, but I seem to remember hearing this on some Discovery Channel show about the Edmund Fitzgerald.

[mac1916]

fantastic....from an irishman

[brianhourigan]

Very nice.. It is my favourite song, it has so much meaning and it was written by a man who died for a cause... This version is one of the best I've heard as your voice is unique. 5/5

[internetbrother]

I am happy you enjoyed it.This is a nice song and strange thing is that whenever I play it for those who even do not understand English they enjoy the tune. The song is very long and I had problem singing it all so I made it short perhaps I will perform a better video with a harmonica and guitar.

[p0rt1shead]

srry bout commentin that harsh, but im just sick of ppl puttin fake things in you tube. I made that comment beacuse we can only see your guitar and sometimes your right hand.maybe you shoul put videos which we can see what u play

[internetbrother]

OK, No problem I understand . You are right there are a lot of guys out there doing that.

The reason I am not showing my left hand is because I hope those interested would visit my forum and ask for chords there. That helps my community to grow.

Thanks for your comments any way! Regards

[p0rt1shead]

u act like playing and singing, with a music on back. like 100 loosers in youtube.shame on you

[internetbrother]

Sir, I am the one who is playing! There is no music on back and it is just one guitar. LOL

[iess]

That was great..I loved it..

[hankook016]

hi that's right let's respect to all nations have fun (^__^)
