Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin Where is Spancil Hill? (204* d) RE: Where is Spancil Hill? 22 Oct 98

I may have missed it somewhere in the thread, but just for completeness sake, there's a passing reference in the song "Sullivan's John" by the Pecker Dunne -

There's a yearly horse fair in the County Clare In a place they call Spancil Hill.

My father always reckoned it was -

There's a hairy arsed mare . . . etc,

but I think he was mishearing a version by Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners many years ago.

Shoh slaynt,

Bobby Bob
