Paul Brady
He performed this song on a recent BBC Scotland programme that brought together Scots, Irish and American folk singers. I was in New Orleans at this time 4 years ago, and it reminds me of that visit, and it's just a lovely song.
Wisdom for the credit crunch from Dickens: “My other piece of advice, Copperfield,” said Mr. Micawber, “you know. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered, the god of day goes down upon the dreary scene, and—and, in short, you are for ever floored. As I am!”

I saw him the other night on a programme on RTE 1 called The Transatlantic Sessions - is it the same series that is being broadcast over with you? It's mighty stuff!
Yes it's the same programme - I agree mighty stuff, the musicianship is brilliant.
I wish I had your knack with videos- it's taken me all morning to do a link.
You should just be able to go to the box called "embed" and cut and paste the code.
