Some months ago Phil Coulter (who wrote the hit 'Steal Away'), was contacted by Terry Hyland who works for one of the Government agencies, Local Development Companies, looking after the resettling and welfare of refugees from the war in Ukraine. Phil was blown away to learn that a large Ukrainian community, and a very musical one at that, based in Cavan had adopted his song 'STEAL AWAY', in English and Ukrainian, as a sort of anthem.
He told Geoff the story on the Lunchbox today.
