Subject: RE: Maire Ni Scolai (1909 - 1985) traditional singer
More and more it appears evident that the 1971 long-playing vinyl album "Máire Ní Scolaí," issued on the Gael Linn label, is the re-release of song recordings made, in some cases, many years earlier. Both in the 1940's and 1950's documentation at the BBC and Radio Eireann/RTÉ shows that Ms. Ní Scolaí's singing was something of a broadcast staple, and it is easy to speculate that the 78 RPM recordings date from that period of time as well.

Searching also brings up documentation under the name Máire Ní Scolaidhe.

Does anyone out there have the Gael-Linn LP with sleeve notes? Do the notes say anything helpful? Thanks.
