THE JOHN O'SHEA TOUR OF IRELAND
Last updated : 08 October 2003 By editor
Pete Boyle is the acclaimed writer of many of the terrace hits that echo
around Manchester United' Old Trafford stadium on a matchday.He has
released 5 albums of self penned songs about his red heroes to critical
acclaim from 5 live to The Daily Telegraph not forgetting the players
themselves. In a 1997 interview with the number one United fanzine RED
ISSUE, Brian McClair was asked his favourite United moment? To which he
answered "Pete Boyle writing a song and dedicating it to me".
In 1995 Boyle's terrace hit ERIC THE KING became an indie top ten smash
as he sung it live outside Croydon County Court in defence of the enigmatic
Frenchmen. Since then he has plaudited by many of the great and good and
is subject of a documentary by Dublin based Adrian McCarthy and Wildfire
films.
Next month Boyle and his backing band the K Stand do a short tour around
Ireland to promote the new single WHEN JOHNNY GOES MARCHING which is a
classic reworking of a traditional song popularised by The Clash. The
lyrics are all Boyles and the song is a tribute to Uniteds John OShea.
