Leo, the guitarist with the glasses, had an older brother who died as a child after an accident. He never met him, his brother died before Leo was born. He wrote the song for his Mum. He tells the story on that programme, if you can find the full thing on here you'll hear him.
Brilliant, one of the many Saw Doctors' songs that capture the soft and harder conditions of Irish life that speak to a social justice and inclusiveness approach to Irish values.
What kind of shite are you spouting :-) it's a song about his older brother who died as a child, how he never even met him and how he speaks to his mother and wishing that he and she would somehow meet again. Social justice and inclusiveness me arse.
+cyril rafferty Different drummer.the one you are thinking of is Eimhin Cradock.this is Rickie O' Neill,ho took over from Eimhin when Eimhin left the band in 2011
