Through the Barricades - A cover

This was another of my father's favourite songs. A wonderful tune by Spandau ballet about the issues in Northern Ireland.

Well I finally sent of my first album for distribution yesterday. It has 15 original tracks. 10 of them already on Youtube, and another 5 that haven't been heard yet. I'm going to be providing updates on my blog:

Plus telling some stories about my father's life. It should be quite interesting.

For now though, I hope you enjoy my rendition of this fine song :)

Hello Jeff, I think that was all part of an attempt to pacify Hitler. It would have worked had he not been hell bent on the domination and destruction of what he deemed as the inferior races of Europe and beyond. Sounds like an interesting book, if you like historically dormant topics but of real interest importance then Hourofdecision has some great stuff. Various languages but some subtitled. I am watching The invasion of Norway at the moment. Thanks, David.

I read random things :) At the moment I've just started reading the two volume "war memoirs of David LLoyd George". My interest is the perception of capabability as it was written a little after the great war. It will also help me to understand the culpability :)

Hi Jeff, I hope you are well. I once tried to visit Spandau prison (Nazi war criminals imprisoned there) in 1995 but it had been demolished which I didn't know and I ended up at Spandau mental hospital instead. Good job they were full or they would have admitted me lol. Lovely version as ever.

@planetrockford

Thank you. I just read a book called "The complete self educator" that was published in 1940. It was interesting to read the section on recent world history. At that point Hitler had just walked into Austria. There was some stuff in there that doesn't really get mentioned now. The fact that the British helped convince the Austrians to give in to him.

Hello Jeff, you are doing me a big favour. I am sometimes listening to your songs, especially the Neil Diamond covers and I am also a big Spandau Ballet fan. So I am very happy with it. I mean nobody can beat Tony Hadley singing that, but it is a very nice version from you.Excellent. I keep hearing your songs. best regards from Germany, Jurgen

@SimonMHL

Thank you Jurgen, and you are correct. There is only one Tony Hadley and there is only one Neil Diamond. So it's always best to sing it with your own style and voice. I'm glad you liked my versions :)

@jeffstunes The culpability lies with the defeated, that is what we are usually led to believe. I am visiting Serbia as part of my holiday plans. I hope the welcome is not the same as when I visited Croatia years ago, glass in the salad.

Hourofdecision777 sorry.

Thank you Rose. This was one of my father's favourites, and a deeply emotional song that I love to sing. You're right. It is difficult. Well, I found it difficult. Lol :)
