A extract taken from Chris Anderson’s Bottomless Brunch broadcast on Hospital Radio Bedfordshire today.
In this feature Chris and I discuss three Irish laments.
Bottomless Brunch can be heard every Friday between 10-12 noon, with the Magic Movie Music section starting at 11.30 am.

Sinéad O'Connor’s Trouble of the Word is available for purchase as a single. Lisa O’Neill’s The Lass of Aughrim can be found on her fabulous album Heard a Long Gone Song. The Body of American is on the similarly fabulous extended version of Rum, Sodomy and the Lash by The Pogues.
I strongly recommend that you watch Douglas Sirk’s Imitation of Life, John Huston’s The Dead, and that you treat yourself to the complete five series box set of David Simon’s The Wire this Christmas.
All the above are available on Prime and other online retailers and none will disappoint.
The photograph used above is a publicity shot of Sinéad O'Connor from 1987 and was taken from Wikicommons with thanks to the uncredited photographer, as well as Chrysalis Records.
