Gaughan is a great musician and a great voice. This is one of his signature tunes, with which he opens each live show. (It was, of course, written by Si Kahn.) Unfortunately, this video does not do this great artist justice. Please check out his CDs, which are of the highest quality. An artist does have the right to say which of his work gets out to the public. That shows basic respect the artist deserves.
As an Englishman, i'll say that the Britain was little more than a platform for imperialism, it's continuous existence only gives comfort to those ultra nationalists and their fascist friends who have dreams of Empire.
So if Scottish independence ends there dream then I'll drink to that.
Great great vid my Friend, sorry been a bit away, it's been problems invasions here and we have a huuuuge matter at the moment, but hope is better now, we hope and we send thoughts to someone, we care, we seem to be feeling better about the person now, as better hope has come today for this Family member so, still awaiting yet in better lights now,
Not forgetting you and 5* well deserved for this excellent Music & Song Performance,

Sending me nasty emails does your cause no good at all.
Good manners dictates that you should have asked first, not decided to "stop to film only if Gaughan request so". Any footage you took before then should have been erased, as it was not sanctioned by Dick.
I know Dick personally. I do not need to go to any site (which can be edited by anyone) to know what his view is on this.
You ask "Who cares?" The artist in question very often does.
Poor quality recordings do no favours to performers, and posting footage without asking permission to film (as happened in this case) is worse than bad manners, it's deliberate bad manners.
It has nothing to do with money, it's to do with honesty and truth, which, if you know anything about Dick Gaughan, is what he has spent his whole life standing up for. This woman has deliberately ignored Dick's wish not to be filmed. No defence!!
You have misunderstood where it says that he is "strongly in favour of web accessibility" (possibly because English is not your first language?).
It refers to the fact that web sites ought all to be accessible to people who are blind, or partially sighted, or have reading difficulties, or use browsers other than Internet Explorer.
I recommend that you take a look at the Wikipedia article on Web Accessibility to which the text you refer to is linked.
The point is that you have totally misunderstood the reference in Wikipedia which you quote. In suggesting that the reason for this was perhaps that English is not your first language, I was making it clear that I do not blame you for this failure to understand; it is quite understandable in such circumstances that you should make such a mistake. This is why I took the trouble to explain it to you.
And I am not a record company! If I were, I think I would be commenting on other angles.
Who cares if this is an illegal filming? Are A2D making cash out of the man? I don't believe they are...
There are many who need bringing to justice for their fraudulent economical practices. Is their legal position being questioned? No, they are being bailed-out by governments and taxpayers to the tune of billions. Go COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT RATHE THAN A NON-PROFIT MUSIC VID.
The video hardly does the man justice, pretty poor quality recording. I can now understand why artists don't like these unauthorised recordings. Do yourselves a favour - listen to the man's cd's. Get the full impact.
Good, keep doing You may find YT exiting n informative n truth rising inside new channel of informations.
And some revolutionizing thought! One of them is free, free access n non compliance is another one.
Search You may find that my work is for everyone and for free n no law apply only good "common" sense My work is non profit related interventionist n consequently of one outsider in many ways.
.I can fathom Your resentment to things seen with other eye's You have been rude to me n I'll just past it over of us not being able to understand or see life from different prospective n values. Keep well ! Le gra'
Only marred by thinking that this was posted by the rude woman in row 2 ,who had not asked Dick for permission...It is illegal and totally unfair to the artist.....
If I'm wrong about this,and it was legally permitted,then I apologise in advance to the film maker,but Dick said no to the woman filming at half time.
Actually It was person behind, that started to make fuss,
attention seeker I recall all evening
I'm sure Mr Gaughan did not mind till in middle of concert woman behind started to call on to the Law n illegal n stuff n I just laugh! You see Mr Gaughan and I in the end just complied to Your pressure and now I can understand why he was first time in this place. Revolution was his entrance speech n
Is what You do with what You Got !? Look after lady she has some bad cough all evening of concert
Yes, I go n enjoy his concerts for some time now, whenever I can n the artist is real, he also speak a truth during his intervals n he is funny to, great qualities in humans.
Nice

camera from beginning

It is possible anyway it has been told to me
I haven't read it myself ( thou person is well versatile in his
own language). Other angles are the one that interests me
and this are about sharing n participating in movement
of truth rising Government merger with Corporate= fascist state
take over of our lives n our freedom of Human Rights.
Will be nice if You look some of my other videos, maybe You could
understand the logic of being Outsider n Artist Interventionist!
Thanks n keep well!

You wasting my time n peoples love for music. We are not perfectionist here but honest we are n

And look the Government in Ireland and all the high position
politicians, developers, lawyers, ex Taoiseach of ireland all
accountable to fraud n bribery n all kind of corruption's!
AND all are free, just like the banks Anglo Irish, busted n
bought by government with tax payer money,
n they borrow n borrow n put it on our necks. So is with music all part of
big corporate operation artist has often little to do with it!
FREE MUSIC

It is the message artist is sanding that counts for me!
Time n moment count too. Introducing D.Gaughan to
audience who normally won't know about the Trubador.
You see I think stories he tell are us much important
n sound can be neglected for message it carry !
For more sound I do advise people to look
into his work, read side bar.!
