Graham Irwin - Song For Ireland (Phil and June Colclough)

Graham Irwin sings Song For Ireland accompanied on electro-acoustic guitar. This treasure of a song was written by English folk artists Phil and June Colclough in the mid 1970s. It was inspired by a visit to the west coast of Ireland. The song reads like a love letter to Ireland. The first recording of the song was by Seán Cannon in 1977. I learned it from De Dannan; it has a slight variation on the original tune. This is a new recording of the song which I first recorded in 2020.
