To carry on Alan's thread of 'adopted' Irish songs, my Grimbarian husband is amused at the regular appearance of the Bill Meek/John Connolly song, "Fiddlers' Green", in compilations of Irish folk songs. I've also heard of more than one folk group with names based on the song. I'm not sure whether the composers, who I believe are still writing and performing in Grimsby, find it so amusing!
