I have a cassette copied from an album, which may have been called simply "MacMurrough", and probably their first. I don't think I have the album any longer (which probably belonged to my sister).

I had the idea from reading either the liner notes or a review that the original group name "Shades of McMurrough" came from the fact that the songs they played at the beginning were all English in origin, ie, they were "importing" English songs in the same way Dermot McMurrough imported the Anglo-Normans.

The songs on this album included Bailiff's Daughter of Islington, Creeping Jane, Plains of Waterloo, Jenny on the Moor, etc. The only Irish song was Tá na Báid.
