Alice - I did an interview with Kate Long at the North East Regional Folk Alliance Conference. Kate sang McNamara's Tears at one of the showcases. My co-host Bill Hahn and I both thought it was probably the most powerful song we heard in years. I am glad you brought it up - that is a perfect example of the power of traditional singing in the spirit of sean nos.
