thanks for posting this! i'm going to see steve wickham play next sunday in Barry Pub, Grange, Co. Sligo...looking forward to it - always been a fan of waterboys but never seen them live!
This is originally a Scottish song about a lady called Lady Jane Hamilton, wife of John VI, Earl of Cassillis. The "Gypsies" were killed (except for one, who escaped) and Hamilton was imprisoned for the remainder of her life, dying in 1642. Her only crime was to fall in love and run off with a Romany Gypsy. Sad.
I remember going to see the waterboys in 1988 in cork city hall, with the saw doctors supporting. I was a full moon and really high tides flooded some areas of the city near the city hall. Have been a fan of full moons since. I'm living in Bristol now but looking at a real session reminds me of how Ireland used to be before we got money and everyone got obsessed with material wealth. This was lovely to see, thanks a lot for posting it.
