Hi Willie

I'm chasing up a version of The Two Sisters and have located Douglas Hyde's text only version of The Cherry Tree Carol in one of our books - in English - I'm going to find if there is an original Irish language text and a tune today - I don't know of a recording
Will keep people inforned
