GUEST,RA	Origins: The Parting Glass (108* d)	Origins: The Parting Glass ('Of all the money'...)	02 Jan 21
Margaret Atwood was a guest editor on Radio 4's Today programme a few days ago. She invited Karine Polwart and Dave Milligan to give a beautiful rendition of 'The Parting Glass' - the one that begins 'Of all the money that e'er I spent'). In the programme the song was introduced as being Scottish. I'd always thought it was Irish in origin. I always thought of 'The Parting Glass' as sung by the late Sheila Stewart ('Here's a health to the company') - a rather different song - as being of Scottish origin, and the other (the one sung by Karine on the wireless) of Irish. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks!
