Description
The Black Velvet Band is classic Irish song about beauty and betrayal from the days when a person could be sentenced to 14 years, simply for stealing food to feed a starving family.
The story of beauty and betrayal takes place in "a neat little town they call Belfast".
The young man gives a warning after being hoodwinked by a beautiful young woman he chanced to meet - a meeting he comes to bitterly regret.
The video contains my version of the song plus some fascinating insights into its background story and origins.
