Duration: 3 min 40 s
Description: Ewan MacColl's classic folk song; originally written about Salford, Greater Manchester, England, the town where MacColl was born and brought up.

Fearless front-woman Derina Harvey leads the award-winning ​Celtic Rock sensation, the Derina Harvey Band (dHb). The group has been ​likened to a “rockier” version of Great Big Sea​,​ if fronted by Adele​, and has earned a reputation with their ​high-energy live show​ that leaves audiences out-of-breath and hollering from their seats! ​The band has spent years touring across Canada and has recently broken into the US performing arts circuit, with several tours under their belt and more slated for 2023/2024. The band’s new album, titled “Waves of Home” drops on June 23rd, 2023.
