Dear Jim,

Any chance you could post the list of Child Ballads you mentioned in an earlier post in this thread that Tom Munnelly identified as being sung up to the 90's here? And you mention in one of your posts (which i can't find at a glance right now) a song sung here called Captain W(something) - I assume a version of Captain Wedderburn, have you collected this? And by "here" I mean Ireland.

And, actually, how can I get my hands on a copy of "Around the Hills of Clare" - dying to hear Nora Cleary sing Lord Levett.

Went on mudcat 2 nights ago after listening to the Keane sisters sing Lord Donegal, thinking it sounded like something Child might have collected - couldn't believe my look to find this thread as a current topic.
