Yes I think it is! Star of the County Down/Flower of Sweet Strabane/Banks of the Nile ......

I once heard someone at a singing festival remark that there were only four tunes in the Ulster singing tradition - and three of them were versions of the Star of the County Down!

Haven't heard the first album. To me, the main problem with the second is not the singing - but the fiddle! (We Irish are very fussy about fiddles!)
