Subject: RE: Book - essays on Irish song
Will get a price to posting to the U.S. and let you know Michael
At present they are in our loft room in County Clare - (which particular rain-forest you be visiting while you're here Jim I?
For anybody visiting the Willie Clancy Summer School - we live in Miltown Malbay, and I hope to be involved in the singing classes on most days during the week.
Thanks for the suggestion Derek - will try the T.S.F.
Will happily post copies out to people who will pay postage - any donation to ITMA or wherever is up to them - have yet to agree this with the Heritage Society.
As Martin and Derek say - recommended; the articles include:
'From Texts to Work' - (David Atkinson); 'History, Heartbreak and Hope' recording the story behind the song - Newfoundland (Margaret Bennett): Songs in English from the Connemara Gaeltacht (Angela Bourke): 'The Talking Machine Comes to Ireland' (Nicholas Carolan); 'A Simple Countryman?' - Walter Pardon (Pat Mackenzie and Jim Carroll); 'Meeting Child on the Road' Len Graham; 'Collecting Sets in the Early days of the revival' (Terry Moylan); 'Singing the Famine', Joe Heaney (Lillis Ó Laoire and Sean Williams; 'Textual Criticism and Ballad Studies' (Hugh Shields); 'What Did we Singe Before There Were Folk Songs? (John Moulden).....
Fairly wide ranging
