Welcome Claire

I have a song called 'My Dear Old Scartaglen' sung by 'Catriona' on a cd.

1st verse goes like this:

Well now the day is dawned at last , when I must say farewell
I can't look back for my bags are packed and I face the ocean swell
It's sad to say I'm on my way, my sorrows now prevail
As I bid adieu to the friends I knew, and my dear old Scartaglen.

The CD called "Along The County Bounds" a compilation of songs and music from Cork and Kerry, was recorded for The Rathmore Social Action Group, all proceeds going to this organisaion.

There are no details of the song, but there is a web site Rathmore sag   and an email info@sag.ie

Rathmore and Scartaglen are only a few miles apart, in the heart of Sliabh Luachra so even if this is not your song, they may very well be able to put you in touch with someone who has local knowledge of it.

Best of Luck
