GUEST,Alan Ross Tune Req: Old Dungarvan Oak (16) RE: Tune Req: Old Dungarven Oak 13 Feb 19


At no stage has Daniel O' Donnell stolen this work. It was re-titled from Old Camarthen Oak - bur correctly credited to F. Hennessy. Sadly the Irish often steal works by changing the title then it doesn't match up with the song registration. This happened with 'Say you love me', spuriously changed from its 1950's title 'I've waited as long as I can' by Hylo Brown (that one is copyright theft by others, not Daniel). Irish country and folk musicians have a terrible habit of replacing place names with their own localities, and then claiming the rights. Daniel did not. My father wrote one of the songs on 'From the Heart', the album which this was released on, and at no point has it been credited to Daniel on there releases, just Mr. Hennessy. What other idiots and autobots on the Internet have done to songwriters' credits is almost beyond control. What you said about Daniel is defamation and a falsehood.
