Hi gillymor,

This is the late great Ronnie Drew, from The Dubliners, singing
Dublin in the Rare Old Times

Dublin in the Rare Old Times - a more traditional arrangement by The Dubliners

It's a beautiful song.

By the way, my Great Grandmother was a Drew whose father came to Oz from Ireland, so I'm hoping I'm related to Ronnie Drew somehow. LOL

I just found this on YouTube too:

Irish Rover performed by The Dubliners and The Pogues

I'll listen to The Levellers. It's funny, because the tune that The Pogues called The Kerry Polka on the 5 CD boxset I bought recently, also starts with a phrase which sounds like the beginning of Mairi's Wedding.
