I read Borstal Boy at a young age. I am glad to have Dominic Behans song remembered for the young generation of kids that will research its meaning and find that children their own age were imprisoned for years by the British. The song was recorded by the pop star and other musicians, including Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons, for the soundtrack to the new Coen Brothers film, Inside Llewyn Davis, which looks at the folk music scene of the early-’60s. The song was written by Dominic Behan, brother of Brendan. “For a guy who has never done folk music before he has done a great job,” Finbar Furey said. “You have to stop comparing it to Luke, no one will ever sing it like Luke. It’s part of our heritage. The man [Timberlake] is a class act and anything that puts Irish music out there for the rest of the kids is great. “I wish the young man the best of luck.” https://youtube/watch?v=cPuLmTUTQok&feature=player_embedded
