  • Hello all,
    This Sunday the 22nd August 2022 will mark 100 years since the death of Michael Collins.
    Michael Collins was shot dead during an ambush at Béal na Bláth on August 22, 1922, while touring West Cork during the Irish Civil War. I wrote this song for him 'The Big Fella'. Hope you enjoy this acoustic version.

    Johnny, I'm sure Michael heard you sing that and is proud of you and knows he will never be forgotten.

    That voice is only getting better when you’re telling a story and singing a ballad. Cheers from CA.

    Totally agree with you about Michael Collins, Ireland would be different now had he not been assassinated by one of his own.

    This song is as powerful now as when it first came out, maybe more so as it's the 100th anniversary of the big fellow's death. It brings me out in goosebumps every time I hear it especially if you recite the monologue before it. You are the best. See you in Charliville in November PG. God Bless keep safe. Mary

    Always loved this song, great words too to introduce. Your poem on the original recording is just as powerful as the song is. Our greatest revolutionary.
    Looking well, Johnny!
