GUEST,Com Seangan Irish songs which aren't Irish (121* d) RE: Irish songs which aren't Irish 03 Jan 05

Thanks to all the contributors. I had been sure that the Derry Air was a tune collected in Ireland. I am not referiing to the words of Danny Boy. There are many lyrics put to that Air. Tom Jones version of Danny Boy is my own favourite!!

BUt we are so lucky to have had Bunting come along at the time he did and set a professional standard for collectore who came after him. And while you are at it you can add "The Rose of Tralee" to the songs that are not of Irish origin.

By any chance would anyone have information on traditional songs collected by John Strachan and Dr. Dick Henebry in the Isle of Man around 1912 ?
