Title: Who Sang These Words - another game!
Post by whistle on 11/09/07 at 22:14:38

We need the name of the song and the name of the Irish Showband who had a hit with it. Extra marks for naming the original singer...(like many showband hits, this was a cover version)

" I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away..."

Whistle

I'm going to try this one.

Would it be from a song called Crazy Farm (something like that). Written and recorded by Johnny McCauley and also recorded by Big Tom ??? :-[

I have just got back from a Christy Moore Concert at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. Could this song be called "Sonny" Recorded by Christy Moore ?
