The placenames are the real thing alright! You just need a fairly large scale map to pick them up.

The great Frank Harte has been touring a talk/recital of songs connected with the 1798 rebellion to great acclaim - as Frank McGrath will confirm. Frank (H!) has a great collection of songs of and about the period. He plans to issue a CD of them soon. There are also one or two other good, similar projects on the stocks (along with some pretty dreadful ones!) I'll post details if anyone's interested.
