While on tour in England (after singing our version of the Bay of Biscay), Felicia Dale and I met a fellow at the 'Folk at the Grove' folk club who swore that he had collected that song in Ireland years ago. (Now - it WAS in a pub and he might just have been full of Guiness - but he seemed sincere). you could write to him and see what you get.Geoff Wood 1 Dean Head Cottages, Scotland Lane Horsforth, Leeds LS18 5HU England
