“Bonny Wood Green” (also Bonnie Woodgreen) is a ballad from World War I, still sung in Irish pubs today. The Irish were unenthusiastic about entering the war on the British side, but once the decision had been made there were surprisingly large numbers of volunteers. The divided loyalties of the Irish soldiers cannot have made their ordeal in the trenches any easier.

Although the song deals with heartbreak and death, it leaves the listener with the melancholy peace that comes long after heartbreak, not the heartbreak itself. There is a story about this ballad which suggests that it was restored and revised. At any rate it is a lovely, artless formula, as with the dying soldier telling a comrade to "kiss my love Nell, and remember Woodgreen". And that's a fine little place, we are told, where many work in John Ross's factory. Bonnie Woodgreen "Where the weavers and winders are plain to be seen, For they all wear white aprons in Bonnie Woodgreen."

Where is this fine place? The volunteer goes off to Kells bar racks to enlist, and that must be Kells, County Antrim, from context and language. And there's the further instruction that it is near Ballymacvey. A touch of Shangrila about it all now.

Although originally written for Tradional Irish instruments, I created this Interpretation of the Ballad "The Bonny Wood Green" for Flute, Violin, Cello & Celtic or Concert (Pedal) Harp.
