Thread Name: Goleen Singers Club - the real article!
Subject: RE: Goleen Singers Club - the real article!
Goleen/Góilín has two meanings, at least. It's a place name in West Cork and, in Connemara Irish it means to "give forth a tune/song" or thereabouts. One spelling is anglicised , the other is , I suspect, abbreviated beyond meaning so - you takes your choice! Úsáidim féin an dhá leagan, gan morán aird!
