Hi Folks, I don’t know if this is the right place to post this! However, I’m recording a rendition of ‘The Mickey Dam’ for my upcoming, debut solo EP! The first person I heard singing the song was Daoirí Farrel! Daoirí told me he had learned it from Frank Harte’s ‘There’s Gangs of them Digging’ and Frank claims to have learned it from Kevin Mitchell who recorded it on his 1977 album ‘Free and Easy’! On the back of the vinyl sleeve for Kevin’s Album, he says about ‘The Mickey Dam’:- “A fine, robust, Glasgow-Irish song learned from William Devine, once from Co Derry but now working for Glasgow Corporation” Does anyone have any info on how far back this song goes? I would really appreciate it!
