Subject: RE: The trees they do grow high: medieval?
Jim Carroll has been on this thread once already and tis 2 recordings of his that have the very tune. Brian, go to the Songs of Clare website and look for the Tom Lenihan recording (Milltown Malbay) and Vincie Boyle (Mullagh). If I remember rightly Ian Manuel was born in Belfast but brought up in Glasgow. Plenty of Irish influence there. So perhaps despite Jock and Isabel we were looking in the wrong place.
