Closer to home for me today…we’re in Ireland with a group who sing in Irish called Seo Linn performing the Irish song Oro Se do Bheatha Bhaile (Welcome Back To Your Homeland). That’s a rough translation of a well known patriotic rebel song written in 1916 by Padraig Pearse …which you will no doubt note has a striking similarity to the melody and chorus of the English sea shanty The Drunken Sailor which was written some 65 years earlier…

Glad you liked…btw I’ve just posted a-ha for my teatime treat!
This is very familiar - the whole performance. Yes, I see the similarity to the drunken Sailor. Is this a Southern group?
