Love this song :) Learnd all about John George Adair at school Such an Eveil Man :D Glenveagh is a lovely place too visit ...Went for our shcool tour in 4th Class , Lovely placee :)
seen them at a gig 1 night in a town called nenagh, fu**all at the gig about 50 people but f**k they blew us away what a show and that at least 20 years ago,,, thanks lads.
i worked in glenveagh and my ancestors were some of the people who were evicted. this song is a master piece if you know the history of the area. A visit to Glenveagh castle is a must you will appriciate the song much more if you no the real history. John george Adair was a laois man from scottish decent and he also owned over 1000000 acres of land in Texas and that range is still there to this day.
I find it hard this listen to this without getting a lump in my throat because as a musician of Ukrainian and Irish decent, I see how these two countries shared a similar sad history, with many parrallels. It is often in sadness that beauty is born, and this beautiful song proves it.
the song is about a lord Adair (the not to be confuse with the other murdering cunt) who a castle in Ireland but didnt like the view of Irish homes so he have them evicted form the ancestrial homes 300 or so, most did of the cold and hunger as they had no where go
