Just finished practising read your post and played this one of the top of my head few bad notes but I only did it the once and put two verses in because it goes on forever in the same vain. Its about the area that I live, this particular place is Salford a he side of manchester, I live directly between there and Liverpool few miles either way,lot of people think its an irish tune, it isnt, it sums up perfectly this area of the North West which still is run down and poverty stricken  in the outlying council estates, I was Brought up on one myself, horrible, dirty, crime and violence ridden areas, the only good thing about it was the smoke from the factories obscured the view of the housing lol

Its funny you should do tnis land, my sister used to play that and sing it all the time when I was a kid, I like all your versions but I think the cello is excellent
