Captain Swing | Fishing Songs from Ireland (28) | RE: Fishing Songs from Ireland | 01 Jul 99 |
Sorry Noel, but 'Fiddlers Green' is actually an English song, written by John Conolly of Grimsby, Lincolnshire around 1968. It has no references to Ireland but to local folklore about the fishermens' heaven. I only point this out because Grimsby is not widely known for its literary heritage so we Grimbarians must protect what little we have. ( I bet some Smart Alec meggie writes in to say that John Conolly actually lives in Cleethorpes.) |
