Thread Name: Irish Songs for female singers
Subject: RE: Irish Songs for female singers
Skarpi, Mairi's Wedding is Scottish, Song for the Mira is Cape Breton. So, unfortunately the way I understand the original question they don't fit.

One question, Lament of the Irish Emigrant was written by a woman, but is from the point of view of the man, and I've only ever heard it sung by women. Does anyone know of a recording where a man sings it?

Another song which is popular among women singers is Kilkelly, Ireland.
