Hi folks. I've read your posts and I'm delighted to hear that you all love the song, 'Edward on Lough Erne's Shore'. My mother, God rest her, used to sing this song when we were small kids and when visitors would call to our house and we would have a sing song. She had a beautiful voice so sweet and lovely. The air of the song stayed in my head from I was a very young child over 55 years ago. I know the air that my mother sang and not the version that Gaby McArdle sings. Gaby is my first cousin and a brilliant traditional singer. He and I sang this song at my aunts graveside in memory of my mother and Gaby's father. As you can tell, I'm sure, I am very fond of the song as it reminds me of the times when we would sit for hours in our house singing and learning old songs from my mother and father. 'Those were the days' no wi-fi then or distracting boxes in the corners of every room or laptops on everyone's knee, or ipads etc. No, it was all good old-fashioned entertainment back then and it will stay with me forever. I cannot write music but if I ever get the tune I have in my head transcribed then I will post it on this site.
