The happy memories you have brought back to me "Hoot". I recall sitting at the dinner table at home with all my siblings and parents on Sundays around noon [or possibly 1pm] and listening to a woman's voice , unaccompanied, singing "As I roved out on a may morning..." on the BBC Light Programme.
I read many years later that the voice was Sarah Makem's (Tommy's mother) from Keady , Co.Armagh ??
"Family Favourites" was, I think, the programme. to replace it , am I correct
It was the same "As I roved out" series that you mentioned, wasn't it ?
