Live at Fureys

Saltwater Brig - Day Of The Clipper

Written when living in Belfast early 80s.

Written from the pov of someone trying to leave the secret services.

Thought to be about Northern Ireland during the Troubles but actually about Vietnam. Close parallels though. Written by Thomas Mclaughlin.

Short American version based on the classic Child ballad Matty Groves.

To be sung on All Hallows Eve for a soul cake.
