When you sy Shanes The dunes does this mean he wrote it or just recorded it cos id love to hear it.Sounds like an old song really a bit like the Auld Triangle.
I have got the Ronnie Drew and Jah Wobble version of thr Dunes,quite a novelty i thought.


Shane Wrote it.. on "the great hunger" Ronnie Drew talks about how he asked shane if he had any good songs and he gave him "The Dunes"

There's a great version of it on 'Humour Is On Me Know' Ronnie Drew's solo album which also includes Shane's 'The Dunes'

I believe Shane and Ronnie recorded a duet of this song in the studio in 2001 or 2002, but it's never seen the light of day.
