Platform - The Brave Unitedmen (written by Paddy McGuigan)

The Brave Unitedmen - written by Paddy McGuigan and sung here by a group called Platform from their album 'In Good Form'. Singer is Ray Kennedy I think. I've enjoyed this number for years and I'm fairly certain (99.9%) not too many will have heard this so enjoy this fantastic song about the Rebellion of '98. The sound quality isn't great as it's ripped from an old cassette tape so on the off-chance that somebody has this version on digital media please let me know - I'd love a copy.

Hello lads, glad to see this recording still being enjoyed. I'm Ray Kennedy, the singer on this track. It's a song I always enjoyed singing with Platform - and Paddy McGuigan remains a good friend. I have this on vinyl and it's far better quality I'll try to get it uploaded if there is interest. Ray.

Yes please Ray - great job by the way & thanks a lot. A few more tracks from that album would be much appreciated. It's a really good album... Unfortunately the quality of the cassette tape I got is not great so it's not worth uploading them in their current state (I spent a lot of time on this track getting it ready for even this level).

Had this version and Paddy's own version but sadly these along with my Wolfehound collection got destroyed! Will give you a shout if I get it again!

[lreland1]

Yes please. To hear the original would be the grail!

[ANE32]

[lreland1]

:-) damn you mr 0.1%. Where did you get that album? I remember seeing the tape in Golden Discs at the end of Queens arcade many years ago but sure that shop is closed down now.
