Though less well known than Luke Kelly, Liam Clancy, Paddy Reilly and Jim McCann, Al is up there on a par with them as one of the greatest balladeers we've ever had!
Good on ye wrongeayup! Fantastic singer of a great song. Ah to sit on the shore of Lough MacNean either on the Leitrim or Fermanagh side and listen to this with or without a drink is pure bliss. Thanks.
