Another song of note he sang at that performance in Glasgow is Viva la Quinta Brigada, about volunteers that joined the fight against fascism and Franco in Spain. Its awesome and moving to see every attendee singing along passionately with him. Christy Moore is a national treasure in Ireland.

Had this in mind since I was just at the Split Rock lighthouse on Lake Superior.

I had assumed it was older than the Lightfoot song.
Thanks for the info!
