Lankum - Sergeant William Bailey

Taken from the album 'Between the Earth and Sky', out now on Rough Trade Records: rtrecs.co/BTEAS
Lankum explain: "We first heard ‘Sergeant William Bailey’ from the legendary Dublin singer Luke Cheevers who also composed the second verse. He can be heard singing this song on his debut CD, It’s just me Sagging Shelf (Cheevers001). The song was originally written by Peadar Kearney, who is perhaps best known for writing ‘Amhrán nabhFiann’ (‘The Soldier’s Song’), the Irish National Anthem. Dunphy’s corner, now called Doyle’s corner, is at the Phibsboro crossroads, close to where we live in Dublin 7"

I was sitting in Clapham junction station in London yesterday, humming a Lankum tune to myself, waiting for a train when I thought to myself, I wonder if those guys are playing in London soon. I pulled out my phone and searched for Lankum gig dates. Well it turned out they did have a London gig which was starting the exact minute I searched! What a coincidence! Was too far away to catch that one but looking forward to the next. Great band!

Me and a couple of lads a while back were bored, so we started playing this. Never gets old.
