From the Battlefield Band.

Jimmy's foot
The foot in question belonged to the late Jimmy - right or left, I don't know. I think it was former Battlefield Band whistle player John Gahagan who wrote this, and it was played as a kind of "salsa", complete with keyboards and drum machine. Some people hated it when it came out, but I've always liked it for its' originality.
The story was that Jimmy had had an accident and broken a foot. John had this tune and was going to call it "Jimmy McHugh's Foot", but someone else got in there before him, and had already given a tune that name, so John was forced to name it after the other foot.

I think it dreadful. The Battlefield Band have such a great tallent, but so many of their tunes are ruined by synthesizer and drum machines, should have stuck to pipes and fiddle, and left this one for an oil-drum band.

were ruined, they don't use drum machines any more and are fronted by the fabulous Ally White and Mike Katz.

The current line up is fantastic and I got a chance to see them at Celtic Connections this year complete with the line-up from Home Is Where The Van is with them. Brilliant stuff.
Mind you I have always had a fondness for the Anthem For a Common Man album, which this tune is from.
