Last Sunday I played with my son Charlie at the All Scottish Fleadh where lots of young people (and some older) compete to win through to the All British Fleadh. This is one of the tunes we played in the bodhran competition. All players in the competition were great but I was chuffed to see Charlie win!

The Melbost Bard wrote this song after his nephew moved to Tong from Melbost. He missed him greatly. The verses here convey the happiness that he brought him and how life seemed empty without him closeby. The bard, in his own inimitable way, makes links to the politics of the day, pleading to those in power to change their ways to allow for a peaceful, safer future.
