The Auld Triangle

"The Auld Triangle," is an beautiful Irish song about a man in prison. The old triangle, made of metal, rang every morning to wake the inmates. The song was written for a play about a prisoner in Mountjoy prison and occurred in the play just moments before the prisoner's impending execution.

Here, some of Ireland's best singer-songwriters sing together with a great crowd in the Royal Albert Hall, London. Enjoy (or as they might say, "cheers.")
