In 2000, I knew nothing about Cathal McGarvey. Here's a bit more: Born, 1866, Rathmullen, Co Donegal but lived most of his live in Dublin where he died in 1927. He was author also of Star of the County Down. According to Colm O Lochlainn (Songwriters of Ireland, Dublin, 1967)he was "A rousing singer and a good raconteur ... [he] was much in demand at concerts from about 1905 till a year or two before his death."
