Thanks for the contribution, Bruce.
I'd love to hear just what was on the recording. The band allowed me to record two of their original numbers live at the Thurles Castle way back in the mid 80s. I have treasuredthat tape and have since transferred those recordings onto CD and also uploaded them as MP3s onto the SOULSEEK free file share site.
'O'Shaunessy's Fandango'
'Mandolin Road'
Who were the friends who tried to get the folk club going? Are they still in the area?

All this rare music deserves to be preserved. Someday, someone out there with taste and sensitivity will rediscover it - hopefully. I freely share as much rare material as I can. ocassionally there may be some copyright issues, but I believe in the current climate of disregard for the past and for the the wealth of insight and just pleasure that has been accumulated in creativity,the important thing is to preserve what there is left by dispersing it widely and introducing as many people to it as possible.
Anyway, thanks for the input. If yiu could get that music to me somehow I would be very grateful.
Darryl (Ratskelter)
