Lankum - Sergeant William Bailey

Taken from the album 'Between the Earth and Sky', out now on Rough Trade Records: rtrecs.co/BTEAS
Lankum explain: "We first heard ‘Sergeant William Bailey’ from the legendary Dublin singer Luke Cheevers who also composed the second verse. He can be heard singing this song on his debut CD, It’s just me Sagging Shelf (Cheevers001). The song was originally written by Peadar Kearney, who is perhaps best known for writing ‘Amhrán nabhFiann’ (‘The Soldier’s Song’), the Irish National Anthem. Dunphy’s corner, now called Doyle’s corner, is at the Phibsboro crossroads, close to where we live in Dublin 7"
