From Clare To Here - Jim McCann & Ralph McTell, 1981

[@seanconnolly5594]

Such a perfect blend of voices and guitars. Written by an English man who understood the complexities of the Irish spirit.

This is beautiful. When I was a student, I worked building roads around Stoke-on-Trent. I was attached to an Irish gang and this song seems to be all about them. They were nice men, far older than I, but looked after me even though they had far more in the game than I had. It touched a chord with my old Irish mum as well and was one of the songs we chose for her funeral. x

It's a long long way from 1981 to 2022. Sadly it only seems like yesterday. Real natural talent. Beautiful. R.I.P. Jim and Gay.🌹🌹🌹

Ralph McTell is such a great songwriter.

This song always reminds of my uncle Michael who travelled far from home to work on the motorways and being so lonely and writing heartbreaking letters home to my dear mother, it was a tough life!
