Liam's Brother	Origins: Irish Sea Shanties (31)	RE: Origins: Irish Sea Shanties	11 Aug 08
Sallen, You ask for shanties "coming out of Ireland." One source for shanties that were extant in Ireland during the second quarter of the 20th century is Sam Henry's Songs of the People. Find that book and you will see that it contains a few shanties (i.e. maritime work songs). I surmise from your e-mail address that you live in Britain. Your best bet might be, next time you're in London, to stop by Cecil Sharp House and browse through the library. All the best, Dan Milner
