I've only just tracked down a copy of Irish Songs of Resistance (1169 - 1923) published by Oak in 1962 and it does a pretty good job in 100 odd pages of providing a brief history of the period as background to a selection of maybe 60 Irish songs. Of these perhaps 40 are in the DT, but I haven't done an exhaustive check yet.

Any suggestions as to similar books, including any post 1923 collections. I have seen Danny Doyle's masterful performance on this period up to early 1920's and I believe that he has published something similar. Is this worth the effort and money to buy?
