David's song about Bobby Sands on his album In Northern Towns Like These is featured on the website in memory of the Irish Republican who died for his beliefs after a sixty six day hunger strike in 1981. The song was inspired by a loyalist interviewed on the BBC who gave up his own campaign after hearing about the sacrificial manner of his death. See under MUSIC. Track can be streamed and bought through the channels listed.
