Felipa Lyr Req: Looking for looooong songs please! (54* d) RE: Lyr Req: Looking for looooong songs please! 23 Nov 23


Jim Carroll posted the following on 22 Nov 20223 on a facebook group "The Ballad Tree: Traditional Folk Ballads":

"Martin Reidy of Tullochaboy, Connonlly, West Clare had the longest songs we ever recorded.
He once said 'A song isn't worth singing unless it has a few verses in it, I wouldn't give you tuppence for a short song' - his longest lasted over 15 minutes.
A shortened version: https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/songs/cmc/the_true_lovers_discussion_mreidy.htm "

(there is more about Martin Reidy in Jim Carroll's fb post and at The Clare County Library website)
