I heard 'James Larkin' in a pub in Dingle town
I heard 'Farewell to the Rhonddha' in Slattery's in Dublin
I heard 'The Holly bears a berry' in the German radio and it was a sound I immediately fell in love with but I didn't get the name of the group. I described the sound to everybody I met and about five years later found the name of the group: Watersons.

Some more stories but those songs I still recollect where or when I heard them first mostly are still dear to me.
