That would be
The Great Hunger.

I agree. Funny thing is, tho, i think that may be Gay Byrne, then-host of the
Late Late Show, himself. Sounds like him, anyway. Speaking of "sounds like", anybody notice who the backing band on that lovely duet is? that would be Hothouse Flowers. They do add a bit of punch with those whistles & strings.
The performance is originally from a whole
Late Late Show tribute to Christy Moore, and while there's some good stuff on there, i'd call
Spancil Hill the highlight.
