@bardechh Hi Marg here - in Aus. Just enjoying some of Ali's videos. Do you know any of the story about Jimmy, who, to me seems to have made a great contribution to Ali's music?
-
Ali was the best.
But does anyone know the story of Jimmy who has IMO made a wonderful contribution to this and other Alistair recordings.
-
I first heard this from the Irish Rovers. Fantastic!
-
Love this! "We'll sing you a song! Of the chances you've missed & the love that went wrong...We'll knock it straight down and we'll sing it again!"
-
There's a new full-band arrangement of this song on Suited And Booted, the debut album by Alistair Hulett's latest ensemble, The Malkies. Google the band's name for the website and more details.
-
awesome song. Great style of playing!
-
Hauntingly beautiful song...awesome first verse...am I wrong, or is he a little communist?

There's only the Roaring Jack full band version from Street Celtabillity (1987) but it's still available on the RJ compilation The Complete Works Of Roaring Jack (Jump Up Records). A few nice cover versions too, by current US and Canadian punk folk bands. Ta for the kind remark, btw.
Been about a year,You were one of the Greatest of us, we who carry on miss you terribly Alistair!

@bardechh Yes indeed it will be one year on the 28th of January at 6:31pm. There will be a tribute concert held at Celtic Connections on this day featuring Dick Gaughan, Roy Bailey, Karine Polwart and some of Ally's friends including myself.
