Thread Name: Origin: Dear Old Skibbereen
Subject: RE: Dear old Skibbereen
Thanx Gulliver,
That looks about as detailed an answer as we are likely to get.I had wondered why a popular song like Skibbereen didnt register as a conversation at Mudcat when I did a search it was the spelling ha ha.
I just feel in my bones that this song must have had some renowned songwriter behind it,I was suspicious that it might actualy not be as old as the event itself,but a song written much later even in the 20yj century, but its looking like whoever did write it is a mystery buried in the mists of time.
I've only had a flick through that archive thread so need more time to digest it so might get to amend the notes I placed on my video on youtube yet.
Thanx for your marvelous help.
