'It's an old Irish song...'
," answered the singer."It's an old Irish song but Celtic fans sing it because there's a connection to Ireland. It's a beautiful tune."
Capaldi, already covered in sweat from his spicy situation, admirably sang the first couple of lines of the song:"As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail, I think about these past few weeks.." He quickly stopped himself, however, as the spice got too much."My eyes! It's like I've got a pair of sunglasses on that have been in an oven." So we unfortunately didn't get a full rendition of the iconic Irish tune.Written by Sean And Frank O’Meara in 1985, 'Grace' came to prominence through The Dubliners regular Jim McCann, as well as The Wolfe Tones. It was taken over by Celtic supporters more recently and has rang around Celtic Park regularly ever since.
