Martin Ryan.	Roscommon Singers CD (1998) (43)	RE: Roscommon	17 Dec 98
Dan Yes to the first question! "10 young women and one young man" is, I'm afraid, no adolescent fantasy. It's a song Ewan McColl wrote at the time of a strike in the early eighties involving workers in a supermarket which was selling South African goods. I've always called it "The Girls of Dublin City", just to confuse the issue, but Peggy Seeger tells me "10 young women..." was the original title. It had never been recorded, as far as she knew. Given the nature of coincidence, I was not too surprised when, less than a fortnight before our launch, it appeared on a CD of Irish Labour Songs released by one our trade unions! I thought I had sent it ot Dick for the DT - but apparently not. Gearoid More sean-nos (in English) than Dublin City Ramblers, certainly! Regards
