Our take on an old Irish traditional song - Whiskey In The Jar.  Relese date 20 January 2021 to celebrate the inauguration of US President-elect Jo Biden, a son of Irish emigrees from County Mayo. Biden brings fresh hope for our planet and humanity, standing up for peace in Eire and Ulster as enshrined in the Good Friday Agreement. He brings the peace, we bring the music. A date for your diaries!

 

 

See the mad mad video, the single that asks you if your taking the right medecine!!!

 

 

2020 Single  'In Vienna' It’s packed into every nook and cranny, but you have to look. Go beyond theusual “here is the history of the hats burgers” (who did not wear hats and didn’t eat burgers) and instead hit the weird and the obscure. So this is the song. A love that came to nothing. A dream that ended before it began. Like most art in fact.

Small Boat crossings

  • Small boat crossings remain controversial and form the ‘headline’ measure of the UK's attempt to control immigration. Politicians use this measure to criticise government policies and propose that they would do a better job. The experience of those who end up in these boats is rarely publicised or explained.

 

  • The Red Cross list a number of reasons why refugees use small boats to enter the UK: 

Fleeing an even more dangerous situation

Joining a family already in the UK

Knowing some of the language

People Smugglers dictate journeys

Lack of legal alternative routes

see link https://www.redcross.org.uk/stories/migration-and-displacement/refugees-and-asylum-seekers/5-reasons-people-cross-the-channel for a full discussion

The picture is complex and difficult. A full analysis of refugee migration using small boats can be found at the Migration Observatoy at The University of Oxford. 

See link here:  https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/people-crossing-the-english-channel-in-small-boats/ for an indepth analysis and historical perspective.
