The Wolf Tones The Men Behind The Wire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "The Men Behind The Wire" is a song written and composed by Paddy McGuigan of the Barleycorn folk group in the aftermath of internment [1][2] in Northern Ireland. The song describes raids by British soldiers, and the "men behind the wire" refers to those held without charge or trial at Long Kesh prison camp,[2] Magilligan prison camp and on board the Maidstone Prison Ship[3][4][5]. McGuigan himself was picked up in a later round of internment, which some saw as the British State's revenge for writing the song[6].
