I caused a bit of a stoushie a few days ago so I can’t possibly comment on Mr Sandman’s post. However, Jim, a couple of the Eamonn Ceannt Band albums are available on Amazon. I have’nt listened properly to them yet, but they sound as if they should be good. This reminds me of a time I was away fishing in a little place called Loch Gowna in County Cavan about 30 years ago. I was sat in the bar with Country and Irish playing on the music machine, and I asked what was going on in the back room. The boss said ‘ oh you don’t want to go in there, it’s just some auld music’. Well. It was bloody wonderful!! Thank the Lord that a lot of it has been saved. By the way, do you know how Ceannt should be pronounced. I think,maybe, it just comes out as Kent. I had a girlfriend from Kentstown near Navan many years ago, but that’s another story. Roger.
