In Series 3, Episode 1 the song Rocky Road to Dublin is played at the beginning. This version is acapella. The only sound of it I can find is here and that doesn't list the artist. It sounds very old, and there have been many covers over the year, so it's hard to find. Does anyone know who the artist is? It'll mean so much. Thanks. |

He recorded a version of 'Rocky Road' in 1964 for a BBC radio programme on the current folk-scene in England, that was fairly similar to that one - might even be the same one. Jim Carroll |

I emailed the person in charge of the music for the show and he actually replied, but instead of the artist name he gave me a link to a higher quality mp3 version of the video I linked earlier. Here you go if you're interested: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yl4ob2vny94i191/ettfgo-ui0 Definitely not Luke either. Thanks, Lecho |
