Christmas pipes of peace

THERE has been a very positive reaction to Alison Laredo's front page photograph in this week's issue of The Connaught Telegraph of legendary Balla piper Pat Conlon and expressing a message of peace.

The photograph, accompanied by the headline Christmas pipes of peace, features three verses of Paul McCartney's much-loved song, Pipes of Peace.

I light a candle to our love,

In love our problems disappear,

But all in all we soon discover,

That one and one is all we long to hear.

 

All ’round the world

Little children being born to the world,

Got to give them all we can ‘til the war is won,

Then will the work be done?

 

Help them to learn,

Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn,

Let us show them how to play the Pipes of Peace.

 

The Connaught Telegraph extends Christmas Day greetings to all its readers and advertisers.
