Subject: RE: Irish Kid's Songs
Thanks for a fine collection of songs Joe. For your information the song "Ballyconnell Fair" was written by my late father, Sandy McConnell of Bellanaleck, Co Fermanagh away back in the early 1960's. I remember the day he wrote it. Myself and brother Cathal - the fluter with "The Boys of The Lough"- performed it a few days later at a parish concert in St Sinnel's Hall in Arney Parish about five miles from Enniskillen.
Thanks - I revised the song lyrics posting to attribute the song to your father.
