Subject: RE: Old folk pub in Widnes?
Hi Gina,

Do you know roughly when he was recorded and where? Also when he first left Ireland. The information I have so far suggests two possibilities.

One would be that he was recorded by one of the BBC collectors before he left Ireland. That seems unlikely since I can't find anybody from Ireland of that name on the National Sound Archive website.

The other is that he might have been recorded by local radio in Widnes. If so, there's a reasonable chance that the programme survives.
