I love his performance of this rousing song and the way he involves the audience ... another example, from the Albert Hall in London with loads of great guests, is included in this comparison of different versions Cover Story (43). The Auld Triangle: Glen Hansard, the Dubliners or the Pogues - Salut! Live
The "Auld Triangle" written by Brendan Behan during his incarceration for the murder of two Garda Síochána in Mountjoy Jail. The triangle was the metal triangle that was beaten by the screws (wardens) every morning to waken the inmates in Mountjoy Prison, it's still there. The song is the reflection of a fictionalized IRA man on the last day of his life when he is going to be hanged. Behan wrote it about himself in memory of the Easter Rising in 1916 ... The Royal Canal was built to carry freight by barge from Longford to Dublin.
You're walking home at 3 in the morning, with a fine moth dressed in black tights and a short mini, all along the banks of the Royal Canal, and you know where the night will end... :,-)
Chicago is in America 😂 I know what you mean though 😀🍀 Boston’s in America too 😂 Glasgow Scotland would beat them both though in the barrowlands 🍻🏴
