Thread Name: Origins: Farewell to Ballymoney?
Subject: RE: Origins: Farewell to Ballymoney?
leeneia, I've just checked in my old copies of O'Neill's & I don't actually have a category for Songs - Airs in mine! Neither in the '65 or the '76 editions! :-(
Is their a newer one with an extra section?

Thanks John, we've mislaid our copy of SH, but as soon as it surfaces, I'll check that out. I don't suppose there are melodies attached to either Dark eyed Molly or Farewell Ballymoney & if not, do you know if Andy composed an air for it, or did he borrow one from elsewhere?

RE: your Ballintoy talk. My Singing & Harp playing friend Jo, really enjoyed your talk & actually taped it for Fiddler Gerry who was, like me, tied up in the Springhill Session that night.

Cheers,
Dick
