Christy Moore and Friends sing Wally Page's 'Biko Drum', a tribute to the Black South African civil rights hero Steve Biko who was brutally murdered in a jail cell by the Apartheid White South African State. Nelson Mandela also gets a mention.
This is from some program on RTE but fucked if I can't remember what it was. From the same Irish TV program as 'Viva la Quinta Brigada' ( see • Video ), and nabbed from www.netsoc.ucd.ie/~justy/ . Enjoy!

I LOVE this song. Wally Page, who wrote it, was brother-in-law to one of my best mates. I've been to Wally's gigs, and it wasn't unknown for Christy to turn up to jam along with Wally! Sadly, Wally died recently, far too young. Dis manibus.

Actually heard this on WHTG 106.3 back in 1980's in NJ. It was a great time for alternative music. jonathan

I'll second that!! I've been looking for Christy's tribute 'Rory's Gone' on here, but no luck so far. I know he did it on TV or something.

Christy sold out to commercialism! Crowds in the Point Depot. The Late Late Show. He has forgotten about nights in the Meeting Place, and Tuesdays nights in the Baggot Inn when he played for the punters that just turned up and paid at the door to hear him. Now its weeks of pre publicity, book online, posters around the city to see him for a night in Vickers Street. I would love on a Saturday night to say Im going out to see Christy, the way we used too! Pay at the door and go home happy.
