[Irishlanguagevlog]

Why doesn't he just go to the Galway races? Would be much easier...

[MsElloyd]

Have loved this track for the last 8 years or so - first saw them in a pub in Dorset before they were famous - awesome duo!

[philpadgham14]

Arhh there should have been a verse about him going to collect his winnings : P the bookie frowned but made no sound : )

[Cyryiel]

I am from Germany an every Day i go out on the baltic sea for a dive. There is no better music, when I am on the boat. Rough, harmonie, wild, adventure days.

sor 4 bad english folks.

[TheRetroPop]

I hope Steve's son continues to do well.

[Dingsface]

good song but steve always changes the lyrics depending if he likes the audience or not!

[Alargh]

Great song! Great Music and great lyrics!

I'm only 14 and from North Italy but they are my favourite singers with Seth Lakeman.

[WaterpigMaster]

Yay! I'm 15 in england (seen them live several times :)) and like seth lakeman too. Good to hear there are are other younglings into it!

[CutieDragonPie]

Oh dear.

Trinity River Whalers sing this SO much better.

[apbats92]

very true

The first version of this song that I heard was the Live at Royal Albert Hall one, which is much faster, and has the occasional whoop from a random person, so to me this one sounds kinda weird.

[AltheFolker]

when i saw them in weymouth this summer, steve did a different version of the lyrics:

"and at the first... she fell."

he did carry on and finish the song, but it was still funny! :D

[heartbraker145]

Steve's son is much better now. it will be three years befor the all clear but he has responded well to treatment. Thanks for all your support for both me and Steve.

Glad to hear that you like the song but i don't know if you know or not but steve is in a family crisis right now as his son is sick so i just like to ask if you could keep him in your thoughts and prayers thanks

[folkiefreek]

[Flamey013]

Steve Knightley's little boy has lukaemia - so his wife is always at the hospital with him, so Steve has to look after the rest of the family. The little lad's only six :-(

It's why they've canceled their tours.

[stueytheround]

I'll never forget the first time I saw Show of Hands live. It was at the Greenbelt festival, held at Cheltenham racecourse.

Their first time there.

Imagine what the encore was!!

The Galway farmer played at Cheltenham and I was there.

Thankyou so much for a memory I will treasure all my life.
