Martin Ryan.	Lyr Add: Wexford Fishing Song (35)	RE: ADD: Wexford fishing song	01 Nov 98
Dan "Songs of the Wexford Coast" was reprinted in 1975. I have a copy. The song is not there. I can keep an eye out for a copy of the book if you're interested. There is a later book of Wexford songs by Paddy Berry, whom you may know. I'll check it when I get a chance. Dick Yes - I know what a "hooker" is in this context - I've sailed the damn things! It's just that I've never heard the word used in Wexford. I doubt if the boats or the term were used there in living memory. My feeling is that the song is very recent - maybe adapted from somewhere else. I vaguely remember the group alright. Wolfgang Keep searching! Regards
