Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Three Lovely Lasses in Bannion/Kimmage From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 19 Oct 21 - 12:10 PM The great Frank Harte, in his "Songs of Dublin", says only that he learned it from Luke Kelly of the Dubliners. He dates it to the 1950's or so. Regards p.s. I spent almost all my childhood in that area of Dublin! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Three Lovely Lasses in Bannion/Kimmage From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 19 Oct 21 - 05:55 PM OK! A quick check in Terry Moylan's "A Living Voice: The Frank Harte Collection" confirms the Sylvester Gaffney/Leo Maguire authorship. Regards p.s. If you'r interested in Irish traditional singing and don't have a copy of Terry's book - it's time to start dropping hints about Christmas presents! |

I will add this detail to my recording of Kimmage, and also the song that started it all back in the 1640s, 'The Maiden's Sad Complaint for Want of a Husband' by Lawrence White. |
