This celtic folk piece is a collaboration with lyricist Donna Devine.

This is Donna’s explanation:

===============================
Background: In earlier centuries, young men were captured by “press gangs” - often literally torn away from their lover’s or their mother’s side - and forced to serve on warships of the Royal Navy or in the British Merchant Navy. Although this activity occurred less often in Ireland than in England, nevertheless it did take place there. Hence the Celtic mode. (-:

Vocals/violin: Robyn McKenzie
Guitar/bass/spoons: Billy Playle
Bodhran: Vincent Pompe van Meerdevoort
Lyrics: Donna Devine
Composition/arrangement/mix: Steffen Offermann
