Talk:Skibbereen (song)

I was struck by the word band in the last verse. There is support for that word on other web sites, but I've always heard van which I believe suits the spirit of the song; the son is ready to fight, not play a bugle. Van does appear in many web sites. Hearaoi (talk) 18:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * "Band" could easily refer to a group of men, it's not necessarily a music group. Look at "Band of Brothers", they didn't play much music. Andrimner (talk) 18:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
