Maddalene.
Nel famoso manoscritto del Percy (il Percy Folio probabilmente seicentesco), le ballate che vi sono contenute a volte non hanno un titolo ben preciso. Fu quindi Francis James Child a dare a questa oscura, cupa e controversa ballata il titolo di The Maid and the Palmer (Child #21). Il prof. Bronson, l'importantissimo raccoglitore e studioso delle melodie delle ballate tradizionali britanniche, a proposito di King Orfeo (ballata... (Continues)

If We Don't Help Them Now
[2002]
Lyrics & Music by Pól Mac Adaim
Album: If We Don't Help Them Now
A contemporary Celtic arrangement..
This is not just an album with words and music, it is an archive from which I hope many will find answers to the many questions within it and our past. I’ve always believed that we must learn from our past, if we choose not to we will continue only to suffer the consequences of the past. We only need to look at places like Nanking, Terezin, and Vietnam, to see history repeat itself in Cambodia, Palestine and Iraq.
Just like the hunger strikes of 1981 Belfast was only 90 miles from Dublin, with the world rapidly developing each day it becomes smaller, Turkey really isn’t far when you consider the fact that they could gain entry to the European union, and like the song says "For as long as the fascists are in control there, they’ll come closer to you and to me".

Bigots Scaring Children
[2002]
Lyrics & Music by Pól Mac Adaim
Album: If We Don't Help Them Now
"This song touches on the Holy Cross situation and the fact that the children are the ones who pay the cost of war.
After witnessing the appalling pictures shown on television of little girls screaming and grasping to their parents while pipes bombs exploded alongside bottles and balloons filled with urine landing around them. I thought making a record of this in song would accompany the suffering those children will endure on a daily basis for a long time to come…"
