I think you'll find it's Canadian. There are plenty of clues but I expect your blinkers were on.

sorry

You should be.

Not a patch on the Willy McBride Song (Green Fields of France/No Man's Land)

You Tube

That is a 'smokey in here' song if ever there was one. Thread about the video an its origins on ARRSE

The 'Willy McBride' song was written by a Scotsman. Any Oirishness in this version is valid. Plenty Irishmen have fallen in service of the Crown.

And WHY should I be sorry then oh holier than thou type bloke?
Oh, American/Canadian its all FAKE to me (should I be sorry about its sorryness?)
As I said, if you read it all, I totally agree with the sentiment and thought it was a great advert.
So I ask you once again, why? My "sorry" was probably taken completely out of context by you, wouldn't be the first time you've done THAT

You did. Very kind.

The singer Terry Kelly is a Canadian and Canadian born. How recently (parent/grandparents?) Irish I don't know. I do know that cultural heritage in Canada is often recent and genuinely felt. Terry Kelly is blind. He's not pretending but don't feel guilty. :wink:

I thought you putting the boot into the Irish aspect was a bit snide so I put the boot in. If it wasn't what you intended I apologise.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Irish people. Doesn't mean I have to like non-Irishmen playing Irish type music though
Its a bit like Chas n Dave do reggae. Not quite right lol.
