The Fields of July

The Fields of July
[2001]
Lyrics & Music by Colin Harper
Album: The Road to the West [2004]

Colin Harper is a music librarian in Belfast. His song, The Fields Of July, is a response to 'the troubles' in Northern Ireland - specifically the annual posturings of both sides during the Orange Order marching season.

Verse 1 includes the perspective of the unionists, verse 2 the nationalist, verse 3 his own - and the view of many non-affiliated people who happen to live in Northern Ireland, that is 'draw a line under history, stop this nonsense now and let the rest of us get on with life'. Colin is author of 'Dazzling stranger: Bert Jansch and the British Folk and Blues Revival' and co-author of 'Irish Folk, Trad & Blues: A Secret History'.
