Subject: RE: Mouth Music or any Gaelic songs
cleod a chara,

Yes please for the Chuaigh me/ 'na Rossan. I already have the words to Do/nal agus Mo/rag. Just to let you all know why this sudden interest. I take part in sessions in Adelaide, South Australia and occaisionally the musos (especially me on bodhran) like a rest so we want to do some unaccompanied singing (my job yay yay) We have "The humours of Whiskey" in English, and "Fionnghuala" but want some more of the Fionnghuala style tunes, being morer interesting for the audience as a style. I have thought of Do/nal agus Mo/rag as an unaccompanied song, and will be working on it. The main problem is the lack of decent recordings here. We have to import from UK, E/ire and US and being a poor student (as most at the session are) we can't afford to get to many CDS etc. I speak Irish and a little Scots so pronunciation is no problem, its just having a recording to get phrasing correct.

le/ bui/ochas aris
