Had the pleasure of seeing these boys( The Voice Squad ) live back in the early 1990s, just remember the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end for the whole show, thanks for sharing.

I attended the Drogheda Festival way back in the 90's with Flora MacNeil, her daughter Maggie, Màiri Smith from Lewis and we just loved these boys. I have to say especially Fran McPhail. There's something about a tenor!

Had the great pleasure of meeting Phil Callery in Schull in the 1990s. Lovely man and beautiful music... sessions at the late great Fergus O’Farrell’s house. Memories are made of this!

What a fantastic harmony and voice mix - are they still on the go I wonder - too bad if they're not.

===== Lyrics ===== When Bonaparte he commanded his troops for to stand, And he planted his cannons all over the land; He planted his cannons the whole victory to gain, And they my young horseman returning from Spain. Chorus Broken-hearted I wander, for the loss of my lover, He's my bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain. If you saw my love on sentry on a cold winter's day, With his red rosy cheeks and his flowing brown hair, All mounted on horseback the whole victory to gain, And it's on the battlefield great honour to gain. Chorus Broken-hearted I wander, for the loss of my lover, He's my bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain. And if I were a blackbird and had wings to fly, I would fly to the spot where my true love does lie; And with my little fluttering wings, his wounds I would heal, And it's all of the night on his breast I'd remain. Chorus Broken-hearted I wander, for the loss of my lover, He's my bonny light horseman, in the wars he was slain. Oh! Boney, Oh! Boney, I've done you no harm, So why, tell me why you have caused such alarm, We were happy together, my true love and me, But now you have stretched him in his death over the sea.

Those guys are stunning. I still have an old tape from the 80s that first introduced me to their music and it's still as mesmerising now as it was back in the day. But looking at this clip I never realised that Anton Chigurh was a member... ;O)
