A song for St Patrick's Day

The generation gap at work there, CL: I'd never heard of Trev & Simon until I played the clip.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard this song before and like you can relate to the lyrics, although in my case it's my Dad who's from an Irish Catholic background and my Mum from a Protestant one.
