This is part of Tommy's set at the Folk Festival Vlaardingen in the Netherlands. The festival was an Irish Folk Festival and held at the Stadsgehoorzaal in the Dutch town of Vlaardingen on the 25th and 26th of November 2000.

I must thank my friend Meta, from the Netherlands, who so graciously supplied me with several pics of Tommy, when he was last over there late last year.

I'm sure you all know the song, so I'm not going to bore you with the details/lyrics except to say it was written by Mickey MacConnell in 1965.

I do agree with Tommy's description of this beautiful song... It is not a Republican song. It IS a love song for a country!
