@terryBob9000000 if you mean 'was the song written by dominic behan?', the answer is yes. If you mean 'is that behan on the video?', well no. It is me, david february :)
Proper Geordie lad, I like the feeling you put into this, best version I've heard yet, sounds extremely folk-esk somthing for the tyne pub to do more of :)
This video is superb in every way -- the artistry, the vocals,the piano -- everything works together so perfectly. The emotions engendered as a result of this masterpiece..are...gulp...well, nevermind. If youtube allowed a 10 star rating...it would be well deserved. Cheers, Gitaboo
You did a great job on this song

WTF? Dominc Behan didn't write the 'Quare fellow', Brendan did. he only wrote the song for Brendan ...

Good job. I love the second last verse, haha, I never really caught onto it until recently - I guess I was never listening that carefully.

Bloody hell, that's brilliant. Man, you've really surpassed yourself there. And the video is great as well.
Was it Dominic Behan sang it first? I'll be a lone heretic, and say this beats even his and Shane McGowan's versions.
