Danny Boy Documentary

[kepper]

A number of years ago, my partner and i were watching a doco on the origin of “Danny Boy”. Shane Macgowan sang what i think is the worst version of the song. We still laugh every time we remember it. Problem is, the tv station that aired the doco, doesn’t know or can’t remember who made the doco. Does anyone have an idea where we may find a copy?

One minute of searching:

A television documentary, "In Sunshine or In Shadow", about the origins and history of the song was produced by Julian Lloyd in 1995 (broadcast on ITV in the UK and PBS in the US).
