"If anyone is keen, I couldn't help noticing a copy of Hugh Shields 'Folk Ballads from Donegal and Derry appearing on ebay just now."
If anybody has problems obtaining this important album please contact me
This, along with Munnelly's and Shields 'Early Ballads in Ireland'(1968-1985) and Hugh's book, 'Narrative Singing in Ireland' are wonderful introductions to very much under-rated Irish ballad singing.
