The South Roscommon Singers Circle is a group of singers in the Irish midlands, dedicated to preserving a tradition while sinking a few pints. Declan Coyne, who founded the group, has just published a lovely book called "...the lilting sons of country folk.." He describes it as "a dip into Irish Music in Mid and South Roscommon, the personalities and events, past an present."

Apart from details of local singers and musicians, past and present, it contains the words of many songs associated with the area or its singers, with extensive notes. While much of it is of largely local interest, I suspect many people would enjoy the picture the book gives of the living tradition of Irish music.

If anyone is interested, I can get copies to you at the local price (10 Irish pounds), postage and packing - and maybe a small currency charge for zloties etc! I can be contacted at mryan@ait.ie for the moment - I seem to have burned my Mudcat cookie.
