GUEST,Guest Luke McLean Sammy Bar.. Irish version. (153* d) RE: Sammy Bar.. Irish version. 13 Jan 17


I see the tradition of cultural plagiarism is still thriving in Irish Republican ranks. First we have, "She is the belle of Dublin City"(should be Belfast). Then, Jimmy Babyface McLarnon was a Catholic(should be Methodist from Co. Down). Next. Roddy McCorley was a Catholic.(should be Presbyterian from Dunneane). After that, the song "Carricfergus" was about a town in Munster(Sorry,theres only one Carrickfergus in the whole of Ireland and thats in Co. Antrim). Now, we have reached the height of bad taste with the portrayal of the wonderful sea shanty, "Sammy's Bar" as some sort of Gaelic, Keltic, Irish classic. How pathetic! Everyone in folk music knows that this great song was written by the late Cyril Tawney, a Cornish seaman, in recent times! You Reps are really getting us non Rep Irishmen a bad name. Please quit. Whats next? "The Mingulay Boat Song" is really an old Irish tune that the Shannon fishermen used to sing while rowing around in their coracles!
