The Men They Couldn't Hang: what an obscure band name, but the band itself, which emerged from the Pogues' circle, was and still is a fantastic live band with many excellent songs – such as ‘Ironmasters’ from their debut album in 1985.

I’ve a German friend who at that time used to come to the UK regularly for gigs & football matches. One time he was excited about going to see the Manic Coathangers. I said I hadn’t heard of them which surprised him. Only after a few days did I realise I was mishearing his accent. #TMTCH
#TMTCH Still wonderful.
NOW PLAYING
Denis Law and Ali McGraw

I want to live like all our yesterdays
In the nineteen seventies...
A bit later than planned, my final selection from this week's album is the track Scarlet Ribbons. This was the closing track on the original release of Night Of A Thousand Candles and one that has become a firm favourite from TTCHM.

Todays selection from this weeks album is one my favourite songs from Night Of A Thousand Candles.
Ironmasters is still a live favourite of TMTCH 40 years after it release, a song about the plight of the working classes against oppression.

My second selection from this week's album is a cover of a song that TMTCH have very much made their own.
Green Fields Of France is an emotive anti-war song originally written in 76 about a man addressing the grave of man who fell during WW1.
