[johncelticfan]

just put "charlie and the bhoys" into a search on here

[johncelticfan]

charlie and the bhoys do a version too.

[PissDritt]

charlie who?

[Smeagoldor]

Charlie and the Bhoys are a scottish folk group who primarily support Glasgow Celtic and their music reflects this.

[fenian2thecore]

@PissDritt can u send me the link to charlie and the bhoys version of this song?

[PissDritt]

In The Beginning I Tought The Dubliners Made This. It Was Fun To Figure Out That He Wrote It

[malachy1847]

@PissDritt This is off the Double C.D. "Thirty years a Greying" celebrating the Dubliners being on the road thirty years.. On same they are also joined by The Pogues, De Dannan, Hot House Flowers and the great Rory Gallagher... Ronny Drew also sings a few gems on this Album.. "The Death Of The Bear" and "The Sands of Sudan" i think at least one is up on Youtube!!!!!

[PissDritt]

@malachy1847 i know, ive got the double disc album

[malachy1847]

@PissDritt .... It's great album.. what's that they say about giving Unsolicited advice to anyone... "don't give it as half the people won't take, it and the outher half already know it!..." slainte...

[PissDritt]

@malachy1847 haha, well, thanks for the intel, it would have been great if i didnt knew it xD
