Sapper , we should start a thread - Irish songs that are NOT - list all of Ewan McColls , John Connoly and Bill Meek , Eric Bogle - even Johnny Cash with his 40 Shades of Green - its gone past a joke as the younger Irish generation think e.g. I'm an Englishman trying to sing Irish songs - they simply don't know any different but are the most possessive - they actually BELIEVE these songs are Irish and that a Non - Irish person has got it wrong and why don't I find some British songs to sing.
Ah y'can lead a horse to water ...............
