GUEST,Patrick Carroll	Origins: Dublin Lady (18)	RE: Origins: Dublin Lady	09 Nov 12
This song was written in 1966 with words by myself and music by Andy Irvine. It was first recorded in 1967 by Sharon Collen and then in 1968 by Noel Murphy. The Andy M. Stewart/Manus Lunny verison - mis- attributing the song to John Connolly (great writer but not of this song) was released in 1987. The singer/accordianist John Whelan included a song called Dublin Lady on his 1998 CD Flirting With the Edge where it is credited as Trad/Arr. - Whelan. I don't know for a fact that this is the same song but it would seem likely. Anyone wanting to know the full history of the song may visit http://www.patrickcarroll.co.uk and look at either the main site or the essay category where a account is given under the title The Old Punter's Cautionary Tale of a Ditty. Peace agus agrah Patrick Carroll
