Subject: RE: Kilkelly Ireland by Peter Jones
Greetings.
I had the opportunity to visit Kilkelly last August. The whole population seemed to be aware of the fact that the song is attracting tourists and visitors to a village which, otherwise, has very little to offer (apart from warm, friendly people, which is A LOT).
By the way, what do you think of Sean Keane's version? I'm not sure I like that part when Sean starts reciting (I've never liked reciting in songs, anyway) instead of singing.
