Thread Name: any West Cork songs?
Subject: RE: any West Cork songs?
Thanks to everybody who has replied thus far.
You've given me plenty of material to follow up on.

Tom Patterson, I look forward to hearing both your songs when you post them to YouTube. Perhaps you can post the links in this thread after you post the videos on YouTube?

For anyone else interested, I have found a few links which mention other songs from West Cork such as 'A Toast to Beara', 'The Shores of Coolough Bay' and 'The Chapel of Charming Rossmore'

I found those titles here:

Tomás Ó Canainn's book 'The Songs of Cork' is referenced as the source for the majority of the west Cork songs listed on the website link above. That webpage also contains a direct link to a few scanned pages from Ó Canainn's book related to the said west Cork songs.
