> spare me Caledonia sung in a trans atlantic accent

As it happens, I tried out The Mountains Of Mourne for the first time in a Zoom session last night, and was thanked by someone for not perpetrating the ususal offensive Stage Oirish accent. That's what comes from getting songs from hard copy, rather than listening to recordings .... whence the equally offensive Murkin accent I get annoyed at in alleged folk sessions these days.

End of rant. We now return you to your more measured comments.
