Editor's note: some homespun Irish laments from a pack of emigres living in the Detroit area. Well, they were back at the time. I think. If not they should have been because well...what says Irish like Corktown?

I love these guys! Saw them a few times in Farmington Hills at Cowley's Old Village Inn. Man I miss them. I have the tape of "Some Say The Devil's Dead" but I want the album (vinyl lp) as it has a song or two the tape doesn't. Anyone help me out there? Also would LOVE the original album (again, vinyl lp) that was recorded at the Gaelic League in Detroit, MI back in 1975.
I have not heard this album in 20 some years, thank you. I saw Pat's People a few times as a youth, the Old Village Inn in Farmington on St. Patrick's day, it seemed like the whole town was crammed in there. My mother loved the song "No Man's Land", we had a personal connection to it, My Great, Great Uncle died in WW1, serving in the Scottish Army (where the family was living at the time, before coming to America) My mother would request that song, when we saw them play, She told Frank Kennedy that story, and he told her, he too had a relative die in that war.
