There's no fada in brilliant, but there should be, for this.

In his introduction, the Irish Ambassador mentions the then recent 'Imagining Ireland' concert at the Royal Festival Hall. I believe that Rowland did a version of Knowledge of Beauty/My National Pride at this gig. Does anyone know if there is any video or audio available of this performance?

3:36 The windbag and pompous drivel stops and the music starts.

Sorry, but I prefer the versions by Bert Jansch or Christy Moore
