Help: Phil Colclough

I will be singing Phil Colclough's "Song for Ireland" tonight and realized I am uncertain how to pronounce his last name. I have been assuming it's "cole-cluff" more or less, but would appreciate verification. Many thanks.

you are absolutely right.Cole-cluff it is. I only met him last year for the first time, and he introduced himself, so I know that is how he said it.

Oh, Greg, thank you very much! It is great to have it on first-hand authority. Now I can credit the song in confidence. Again, thanks. Margaret

Interesting, Compton! Here in my part of New York there is nary a Colclough in the big phone-book. Margaret

Phil and June Colclough as I remember were the duo and maybe even part of the Critics Group for a while.

And it's another of the great Irish songs which started out not being Irish songs at all.
