Many thanks, Peter. Sean Cheaist`s version of Port na bPucai is the same version as Sean O Riada`s and, obviously, O Riada learned it from that version.I have to revise my opinion that O Riada composed these airs and, no doubt, the original version of Aisling Gheal will emerge, in time. That documentary on the Blasket islands was excellent and thanks again. You were very patient to post all the data. Here`s to you, Sean Cheaist O Cathain...may your memory live on whenever Port na bPucai is played.
