Thanks weelittledrummer, but if you can even find out the details of where and by whom it was recorded I can chase it from there.
JTT I know where to get my hands on that book, thanks. Though I don't think I would have any difficulty in mixing some of these in with my own repertoire, it's just the mind set of some folk I sing them in front of. Sean Moane (I hope I have spelt his name correctly) from Armagh who is a lovely singer, sings 'The Bold Orange Heroes of Comber' so there must be plenty out there I have still to find.
Thanks again for all your help
