Subject: RE: 'All the dear Spinning Eileens'
Bear with me, because I still can't do Blue Clickie links. But I can submits URLs in a post.
It occurs to me that some readers, who know even less than I did when I wrote the original post, might want examples of the "cabaret harp" being scrutinized here.
Both these pages describe the same recording product.
https://siopa.gael-linn.ie and search for "Amhrain Ghra."
http://claddaghrecords.com/index.php/amhrain-ghra-songs-of-love-by-irish-female-vocalists.html
Multiple singers/harp-accompanists here, including:
Máire Ní Scolaí
Eilidh Ní Marchaigh
Fionnuala Mac Lochlainn
Marjorie Courtney
Deirdre Ní Fhlóinn
Kathleen Watkins
Gráinne Yeats
Mary O'Hara
Seventeen titles, they all appear to be Irish/Gaelic, including "Róisín Dubh."
No, I have not heard any of these records myself.
