Excellent song, I remember him telling us the story behind this song at his gig in Tullamore. Inspired by his great grandfather. Pretty funny. Your amazing Mick!!
When his Grandfather was about 6 years old he was playing with match sticks out in the barn where all the hay and supplies for the winter were, he happened to set light to some of the hay bales and got scared and ran into his house and hid as he knew he would be in trouble. His parents arrived home and found that the whole barn had been destroyed and burnt to smithereens, after many hours looking for him they found him beneath his bed and asked him what had happened.... he replied with "I lit the small fire, but I don't know who lit the big one!".... very funny :)
I love the intensity in this song, It'd be cool if Mick could be booked for Stockholm anytime soon, even though heading over to Ireland to catch him live is quite fun too.
