While living and working in France I discovered a hugely-popular version by the singer-songwriter Renaud. His version is entitled La Ballade Nord-Irlandaise and is a pacifist song referring to the troubles in Northern Ireland.
This arrangement is designed for more-experienced players. It is an excellent item for concert programmes, encores, weddings or background music.
The single download provides the music in both notes and TAB.
This arrangement can be heard on Dan's solo CD 'Les Cerisiers'. This can be heard on all major streaming sites or a disc purchased through Dan's website mentioned below.
