<p> Hello Gerry,</p>
<p> I don't mind if you were joking, or not. I am very grateful for your kind comment.</p>
<p> My son has songs about Twickenham called Hometown Paradise on Spotify and Amazon but that's as close as it gets. I really like the harpist and I'm thinking about doing another Irish song with her.</p>
<p> Kind wishes,</p>
<p> Ed</p>

<p>Liam Clancy sings: The wind was sighing as I lay crying in my prison cell. Those words do it for me.</p>
<p>It's such a moving song that any decent singer would give it a fair go.</p>

<p>The High Kings had the best presentation of beautiful images of Ireland (but no images of the prison cell nor the royal canal) but had the best studio (audio enhancement) the best sound, but I still prefer to hear Liam Clancy, Luke Kelly, and the Pogues among others. Justin's version is okay but no where near the metal of the ones before. This style of singing is something only a few are born and few others develop.

<p>Thanks for this, Kelly! I wasn't aware of the origin of the song. I love the Damien Dempsey and Glen Hansard version.

<p>I think Justin and friends did a great job, nice harmonies. But my take on it...is that its too pretty. Look at the lyrics of the song and its setting...a prison cell. So to me, maybe a great Irish Tenor or others can sing it well...but it would be hard for them to give it the emotion it needs. I feel the song is done better by those with everyday or emotive voices. Some mention Luke Kelly...I liked Paddy Reilly.
