Right, listen up people!

Yesterday a lovely book was launched by a great singer, pipe bag maker and all round great fella Jackie Boyce, sometimes seen posting here on Mudcat.

Jackie's book is called "Songs of the County Down", and as the title might suggest, it's full of songs - and notes about them - of that very place. Some 'catters have already sneaked a look at the book during the Loughstock III gathering in Portaferry at the start of February. Well, now they - and the rest of yous - can get yourselves your very own copy. Here's the link:

Jackie is one of my favourite singers, probably because I've been listening to him since the day I was born. I'm incredibly biased because he's my uncle, but even without the blood ties, I'd be ordering this book straightaway!

Congratulations, Unlce Metal-Detector - I'm very proud of you!
