Nice one Jim! I seem to recall that in the 1970s (winter of the power cuts) there was a-midwinter customs programme, fronted/narrated by Tams and the (possibly) Albion Band which included film of an Irish wren-hunting gang. After the obligatory dance at the cross-roads (to the Kerry Polka) and house visitng, they ended up in a pub where a senior singer (not part of the wren gang) sang an exile ballad with a refrain which went "I wish I was in ___ (I can't remember)a-hunting of the wren." Any lead on that one? TomB
