Sorry Tucker! Ruairi asked the question in Gaelic and it seemed polite to reply in kind! He's asking about a song he learned in school (50 years ago) called "Summer will come".

Ruairi
It was colected by Mrs. Costelloe - whose "Amhrain Mhuighe Seola" is still in print, I think. There's a copy in the Journal of the Irish Folk Song Society at the beginning of the century. Its in old script which I am (just) too young to remember without a hammer and chisel!

If you're in Ireland, you could probably get the Mrs. COstelloe book through Government publications. Alaternatively, let me have your address and I'll send you a photocopy.
