In the years I have been attending singing weekends, fleadhs, sessions etc.. I have recorded on my trusty little tape recorder dozens of satirical songs. Brian O'Rourke, Fintan Vallely, Sean Moane and others but beeing a 'cheep git' I didn't use good quality tapes and now some of the recordings are lost, broken tapes, snagging in machines etc. Does anyone know if an official recording has ever been made of an accompilation of these singers (and others) songs such as 'Willie McBride', 'Willie McCray' etc. If not it seems a shame that all that hard work and wicked humour be lost.
