Jim Carroll	Lyr Req: Mary Bowles the Pride of Sweet Clogheen (29)	RE: Lyr Req: Mary Bowles the Pride of Sweet Clogheen	09 May 20
REPORT HERE FASCINATING INFORMATION HERE Further information, from 'The Mother Jones Festival' Cork (2017) In Clogheen, on the northern ridge of the city, Mary Bowles was arrested in January 1921 as she tried to hide a Lewis gun while local men escaped from an attempted ambush. She suffered dreadfully at the hands of her captors, and was imprisoned although just a very young teenage girl. She is remembered in a ballad “Mary Bowles… the Pride of Sweet Clogheen” As someone who has become fascinated in the link between history and locally made songs, I am grateful to have been introduced to this great young lady Jim Carroll
