Around 2006 myself and a friend were touring Ireland and we drove into Kilkelly and while buying a few items at the local supermarket "Tarpeys", when we asked about the story / song The gentleman who served us and his assistant spent the next hour or so explaining everything, and then produced copies of the actual letters which he photocopied for us. He had tapes and CD's of lots of people who had recorded the song, and just up the road in the cemetery, I believe is the grave stone of the father "Bryan Hunt", though I didn't go and look for it. If anyone is over in that area I'm sure local people would be just as enthusiastic and friendly as they were to us if you visit Kilkelly.
