Well Fidjit, that was an interesting selection - and I loved the mondegreen of When Old Men Sing !!!

MCP and others have beat me to it with the details, etc, so I'll add what I know. John Conolly's song is a relatively new one, which he prefaced last time I heard him sing it with the comment that he keeps on adding verses in the car on the way to gigs and tends to select a few different ones to perform each time!

It*s All For The Sake Of My Darling could be any one of a number of different songs, if I put my mind to it I could probably think of a few with that phrase or something like it in the lyric.

The Shep Woolley song is Down By The Dockyard Wall and if you want a recording it's on Derek Gifford's latest CD (Sunny Corners).

Faithless Sally Brown - as Mick sez, this could be any one of a large number of shanties (or forebitters even).... any more clues?

A Sailor Ain't A Sailor Any More - the proper title of this Tom Lewis song is The Last Shanty.

Wish I'd been at Miskin - each year I hear it's better and better - maybe I'll make it next year.

Keep on fidjit-in'!
Cheers,
M
