Subject: Brady/Irvine - Skewbald recording From: Liam's Brother Date: 10 Oct 03 - 12:57 AM Earlier today I was looking for my copy of the Mulligan album, Andy Irvine & Paul Brady. Disappeared! Sometime later it was issued on Green Linnet in the USA. The horse racing song usually called Skewbald is on this disc. I wonder would someone who has this album and a few spare moments be so kind as to provide me with the sleeve notes to just that one song. Thanks in advance. |

Nicholas Carolan, introducing the clip, mentioned that Hugh SHields dated the original race as 1750, if I heard him aright. That would be the Eddie Butcher connection, presumable. Regards |

Uncanny that it was on TV tonight! As it happened, I looked at the Bodleian yesterday. It was common. Hope Josephine and her Napoleon are doing well. |
