Barrie, that's so cool. I told my kids everything I've learned so far, about the Connemara Cradle Song, and Tom Darby, and they're totally fascinated - it sparked a great discussion about musical borrowing - and I'm sure they'll be really interested in the Borstal version - and especially how you came to know about it, and performed it the same night.

I can just picture a bunch of guys in uniform having a few beers and singing the WWII version.

Thanks for the Belden, too. Anyone got anything earlier?
