This song was a great favourite of Kathleen Behan, mother of Brendan and Dominic. Kathleen finally recorded it in 1978, her only L/P, at the ripe old age of 91. On May 27th (last week) the Cle Club had a special tribute to the Behan family called "Spillin' the Behans", and Niamh Parsons sang a lovely version of it, albeit at short notice. She hopes to record it sometime, with her sister singing harmonies. It was a favourite of her Dad's, which they learned as kids from the singing of Kathleen, You might try this link for a video clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?V=VWSop_JMg&A .
Martin, you missed a great night!
