The Wades all come from Tralee originally, I think, tho' I was born in Dublin.

A very  moving and wonderful song, Des.  As would be said;  ' You  got  it  right ! ".All the accolades  here are such that it speaks for many of us and the greatest  tribute  is the request  from JM Sullivan  to be allowed to sing this song  here in his community in Florida.  Way  To  Go,  Des  !!!

Thank you Patrick - it is heartening and exciting and I feel honoured that people I don't know perform and share the ideas my songs with people on the other side of the world. Thank you again and have a quick look at my site www.deswade.com for other Celtic influenced songs of mine you might like - So Softly in the Twilight, The Sign of the Claddagh, O Ro Tir na nOg and, for a complete change of pace, Thomas (Bang, Bang) Dudley.

It's the spirit of this stellar delivery that gets me. Such an emphatic, compelling personality in this, delivered with perfect, resonant pitch, no less. Now here stands a man using his God-given gift! What a contribution to TWG!

Thank you Claire Fullerton for those kind comments about my song - it certainly came from the heart and obviously resonated with you which is very, very pleasing .Thanks again.
