GUEST,jim bainbridge	Lyr Req: Irish Coal mining songs (44)	RE: Lyr Req: Irish Coal mining songs	19 May 16
Well we didn't get anywhere re these songs- aiming at an event at the forthcoming John Mckenna Festival- at Arigna on 12 June- 3pm. There are songs from the US, Britain and Oz, plenty of tunes but no songs--and i told my pal Ed Pickford about this lack of material- he produced several within a couple of weeks- what a man. There was copper/barytes 'mining' (more like quarrying really) in the part of West Cork where I used to live but no songs. Did Ewan MacColl collect in Ireland?- even if he did, the industrial base would have been so much less important musically than in UK that maybe he'd struggle to find anything vaguely industrial even then? Seamus Ennis seems to have concentrated mainly on the music.
