Hi Steve

I'm perfectly sure Jim WAS referring to 'source singers" as distinct from 'revivalists'. That said, of course, the distinction is a bit more blurred in Ireland.


Brian Mullins is a fine singer and collector - but would not claim to be a "source singer" in the sense that you (and I) use the term. I gave his name because, to the best of my knowledge, that's literally where Clannad got it. I'll ask Brian how he came across it when I get a chance...

Regards
