I thought Give Ireland back to irish should have been on it. im pretty sure it was a minor hit in the uk (no 14 or something like that).

Jimmy McCulloch fan im very interested to hear about your book. could you give me some info in pm or something please.? I thought jimmy was a brilliant, brilliant guitarist, the best paul ever played with. Shame he didnt stick around too long.

'Give Ireland back to Irish' definitely got airplay in the States. Don't know how well it charted, but those were very political times so peeps were into it.

#16 in the UK, and #21 in the US. He's had less success with other singles. We've discussed this song elsewhere before. It may be that as a protest song it's out of date, or maybe he doesn't totally agree with the politics of it anymore. Could be any number of reasons, but it's never seen the light of day on any of his 'best of' compilations.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
