I wrote this tribute to Terence MacSwiney, Patriot, Poet, Playwright, Musician & 2nd lord Mayor of Cork, who died on hunger strike on 25th October 1920 for the cause of Irish Freedom. He gave the ultimate sacrifice that we may enjoy freedom. I spent the last few days working on an old air called Cape Clear, I got from the playing of the wonderful Paddy Keenan & Arty McGlynn, to put with the poem. A lockdown Sitting room recording, thanks to Axel Grude from Songcraft Studios for putting the final touches of magical genius to the audio for the track.
