Good chance the song was written by Briege Murphy.   She was very helpful and approachable to me when I had some questions about some singers from her local session in Forkhill.   Might as well try the source... (btw, imho, her songs are absolutely beautiful.)

Hey!
    I wrote to Frances Black on HerSpace to tell her how much I enjoyed that song (around Christmas) and she wrote me back!











She wants me.

Agree, Briege's version of The Creel just enthralls me - her control on three-note runs, and the depths (complicated structure?) of her voice add an immense amount of interest to a simple a capella arrangement with bodhran. Wish I could do it half so well; I just love listening to her!
