Darren Holden's Irish, not that that's a problem, but he'll probably pronounce certain words slightly differently to non-Irish speakers. Also I think it's important for people to fully realise that this song was recorded in just one take, which is pretty impressive.

I agree though and that I'd love to hear him sing something new from Jim.
