Subject: RE: Colin Irwin -tribute to Margaret Barry
Yes, spot on- her banjo style was unique & essential to her singing!
   I saw her several times & bought a cassette of her about 20 years ago because it had a few songs I'd not heard her do on her LPs.

Some eejit had added a full band (and a totally insensitive one) to her voice_ I also once heard an ignorant RTE FM2 DJ giggle and announce with the usual pop drivel- 'is this the worst singer in the world?-hee hee giggle'- it was Maggie singing Myy Lagan Love'- I gave up listening to radio folk programmes after that!!
