Dear Áine, Thank you for giving me this link! Yes, I`m glad that`I`m here and I will come back often! I hope that I can help other in their search sometimes too!

Thanks to everyone that helped me here! I´ve learned a lot today, and I´ve found a lot of books and tapes that I´m going to order from Ireland.

Thanks again!

Angun

Don't forget Mudcat contributor John Moulden's website. Click onto it from Mudcat's Links, or my homepage. Also look for the publications of Tom Munnelly, Hugh Shields, and Sean O Boyle, all modern collectors.
