Well, the song isn't credited to Freddie; and other than that line of Bob's, there no evidence at all that Freddie ever collaborated with him, or had any interest at all in Irish folk music (why would he?). So, I think it was just offbeat, Geldofian humour.

Well, no, I can't help. My Live Aid stuff is in NTSC (US) format. You wouldn't be able to watch it without first converting to PAL, or buying a new VCR that could play that format. Sorry.

Thanks for your theory! As I've just started listening to his music and following his career I shall have to acknowledge your more well informed opinion! HOWEVER, whether it be my trusting nature or sheer stubbonness, I am going to keep hoping that they DID collaborate, contrary to all evidence pointing otherwise!! Maybe we'll speak tonight @ 8:30 GMT!!
