In the late '70's early '80's we had a band based in Amsterdam called 'Sin É' Gaelic for That's It. Kevin Beggan of Dublin sang it - a fairly lively version that never failed to please - though I often thought that the story of the song went over the head of most of the audience.
For health reasons he doesn't sing anymore but I've taken a fancy to the song - and along with another Solvey (a Romanian song I believe) I take a break from by fiddle and sing along with the mandolin.
Georgie Barnwell is eminently suited for the twanging of the mandolin and makes my music-hall version seem fairly authentic sounding - if I dare be so bold.
There's another old English song I'm after - The Molecatcher. A bit like the German Clockwinder of the Dublin balladeers.
Any hints, tips, links to the Molecatcher - I'd be grateful for and can be reached via my website www.glenribbeen.com
