A song about working for a dodgy builder in England called McAlpine. Because of the harsh regimented working conditions his workers nicknamed themselves McAlpines "Fusiliers". From the singing of Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners.

Its a mix of drinking songs, ballads, sea shanties with a healthy dollop of tunes (jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes etc) thrown in. Band: Anto: Vocals, Guitar and Bodhran. Darren: Vocals and Bouzouki. Dave: Vocals, Banjo, Mandolin, Guitar, Bodhran. -Please excuse dodgy quality of uploaded songs. Proper recordings to follow at some stage (whenever we get around to making some!).
