  • I heard this song performed by Michael o Domhnail in Letterkenny, maybe 10 years ago. It tore my heart out. Sinead O connor does a nice version, but yours has a beauty and honesty that does it for me. Well done

  • Nice job Paul 5 Stars

  • I always come back to

    'Lord Franklin'

    sung by Paul Cornwall!

    it goes straight into my heart ....

  • @TheRuralpoet - Presumably thats why then, the Union's establishment continues to ignore him and perpetuates the falsehood that Franklin "discovered" the North West Passage! Franklin was a self-indulgent colonial amateur whose King Canute attitude to exploration resulted in his just rewards. The reaction to Rae's accurate report of what happened to Franklin exposed the fundemental racism which lies at the heart of the British imperialist mindset.

  • @saorsa1314 Bravo, very true John Rae was a great scotsman, I'm English but admire him so much and am proud that he is one of the formost names in the Unions history of explorers...

  • This is one of my favorite songs, and Paul Cornwall does it great justice. Love the

    guitar work. .Really smooth. I wish the song was longer!

  • wow. awesome.

  • Listened to all the versions here - this is better than the rushed and lazy Renbourn live version. The moving song lives again! Thanks - so restrained and simply arranged.

  • An absolutely beautiful rendition. Thank you so much for sharing this one!
