'Folktax'! Love it! The Kennedy Folktrax site - www.folktrax.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/menus/performer_r.htm is still selling a CD of John Reilly's songs called 'The Rosin Box' and makes it damned clear that these are from Tom Munnelly's recordings. Ossian did not release 'The Bonny Green Tree'. Incidentally, Christy Moore's 'Desert Island Discs' appearance on the 17th June this year included Jacko's 'The Raggle Taggle Gypsy'. The Musical Traditions listing of 'The Bonny Green Tree' for some reason includes a song called 'The Braes of Strawberries' (as opposed to Strathblane). I wonder what Rod was on at the time.
