Jackie Boyce,

If I'd known Jackie was you I'd have contacted you direct. Don't forget that because of the Dolly's Brae research I know a lot of the local place-names. Who did you get the song from then?

For anyone who doesn't know Jackie, he is an excellent traditional singer from Comber County Down who makes his living making what are reputably the best obtainable bellows and bags for the various kinds of bagpipes.
