Mudcat is about gathering information I see, and I've read and reread to figure out how I should go about listing a song that I have had no luck at finding, having only one recording of it. It is difficult to interpret because it doesn't sound like a professional-level recording, rather echoey, as if recorded in an auditorium or other large event area with no musical accompaniment, only the thumb of feet keeping the beat. It's a sea chantey-type song and is absolutely mesmerizing; half is sung in English, the rest in Gaelic I believe. It's on one of those compilation CDs that are on sale for St. Patrick's Day.

Please, can someone explain how I go about placing a request for this or another song not in the listings here or, as far as I know, anywhere else? No one at any event has recognized it. Hmmm... I don't think my playing is that bad.

The title is "Fiollegean". Do I start a thread just for this song?

I considered where I could beg for help. Is there an official begging-for-help thread? I need to mark it then!
