Sadly Bill Caddick died last month ( 1944- 2018). We will miss chatting to him at The Boat Inn, Jackfield. Condolences to Katherine and sons Tam and Christy.
I'm afraid that's not possible. This was broadcast by the Scottish STV channel in 1985. The whole programme and others from the series have been posted by STV themselves elsewhere on UA-cam. Search for "The Corries and Other Folk".
Jimzee, I can’t agree with you more! I don’t want to die before I get to hear Christy live! Let’s get this awful Covid under control and please God, my dream will come true!
Thank you for posting this. I suddenly remembered this song and how much I loved it, but I couldn't remember much more than the title and a scrap of the tune, at the end of the chorus. I asked Google, and this blessed performance was one of the first hits, if not THE first.
2019 when this concert took place and unfortunately I could not get to it. But pleased the concert is available on You Tube so I can keep dropping it. Sadly the following year Ted was taken by Covid can not believe next April it will be 4 years. He is still missed.
Hi Fin - sorry, I only have that 1 clip from that particular performance. I do have 1 or 2 other clips of Christy. I'll try to get them posted in the near future. All the best.
My sister picked this song for my father's funeral (John) 3 wks ago.A beautiful song.I will cherish it forever.
Hope all is well, sorry for the loss x,

...I heard this song sung in the midst of grief the other night - shall always remember....
A local friend of the family sung this at my Uncles graveside. This song holds a place in my heart. Very touching.
Lyrics by the late Bill Caddick. A wonderful entertainer in our folk club in Wolverhampton years ago.
was this at the Giffard , i used to play there in the 70,s
I played this to my three grandchildren (ages 2, 4 & 6 last night when putting them to bed..beautiful, they loved it. Thanks for posting this Douglas.
That thought makes me very happy, Sue. You're welcome.
I love this song, and ya just cant get much better with Christy Moore singing it!! Fantastic!!
Jean Redpath and The Clancy Family do real good jobs.
