Good tune but his 1977 version has more balance between voice and guitar and is far superior.

One more reason to absolutely love good music

nobody nails arthur mcbride quite like mr brady! as the loser in this song (i'm english) i have no problem with cheering arthur on. those squaddies got what was coming to them ... though, as a fellow musician, i do feel a bit sorry for the "little wee drummer".

This tune will always remind me of my honeymoon in 2005...Never got to Kerry as we had a car crash leaving Dublin. The tune fell out and was on the floor/roof amongst the shattered glass when i climbed out through the window after the car overturned from a side impact...me and the wife were very lucky...still love the tune though and purchased the very good DVD of Pauls to learn it in the DAD tuning :-)

I love the semi-subversive story. I feel like I've always loved that melody, since before I knew of it. Tremendous playing and singing. And the video's final seconds are a treat.



Definitive Version....... without doubt
