The Auld Triangle is a well known Irish folk song usually attributed to Brendan Behan.
It is a song about someone being incarcerated in Mountjoy Prison in Dublin on the banks of the Royal Canal
It has been covered by the great and the good of the folk world including The Dubliners and The Pogues. I've seen the Dubliners perform it live at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall.
Bob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy and Cat Power have also recorded versions.
I was minded to feature it today after hearing an absolutely stunning acapela version by Americana artist Eileen Rose from her latest album Muscle Shoals.
The original jingly jangly music!
