GUEST,Guest, Anne Irish Songs for female singers (99* d) RE: Irish Songs for female singers 24 Mar 04

Hi,
There are some great American - Irish songs, quite recent,
that you could try. From Tom Russell's album The Man From God Knows Where : "When Irish Girls Grow Up" and "Mary Clare Malloy", and both are sung on this album by guest artist Dolores Keane.
Also The Mollies number   " On We Go" - it's a catchy bouncy tune, even if the topic is a bit violent - old woman drowns her pain of a husband on the way home from the pub.
Steve Earle's "Galway Girl" is a favourite American-Irish number at our folk club when we sing bouncy numbers.
Another tune you might like is "Step It Out Mary." - Irish tune, 1955.
None of these numbers are for delicate voices, they are more robust tunes.
Anne
