Subject: RE: Tune versions: Tell her I am/Sliabh Luachra
I caused a bit of a stoushie a few days ago so I can’t possibly comment on Mr Sandman’s post.
However, Jim, a couple of the Eamonn Ceannt Band albums are available on Amazon.
I have’nt listened properly to them yet, but they sound as if they should be good.

This reminds me of a time I was away fishing in a little place called Loch Gowna in County Cavan about 30 years ago. I was sat in the bar with Country and Irish playing on the music machine, and I asked what was going on in the back room. The boss said ‘ oh you don’t want to go in there, it’s just some auld music’. Well. It was bloody wonderful!!
Thank the Lord that a lot of it has been saved.

By the way, do you know how Ceannt should be pronounced. I think,maybe, it just comes out as Kent.
I had a girlfriend from Kentstown near Navan many years ago, but that’s another story.
Roger.
