Thread Name: Roscommon Singers CD (1998)
Subject: RE: Roscommon
Frank! You chancer! It's not often I'm accused of humility.

The CD is indeed launched - with the help of Jimmy Murray, in whose pub the circle started a few years ago. Jimmy won an All-Ireland with Roscommon in 1943 and 1944 (the Irish among you will know how cosmic an event that was). He is also a fine singer - still, at the age of 81. As I said to him: "if I can keep my teeth in at your age , never mind sing - I'll be happy!"

I'll look into the cost of postage but I'm unlikely to refuse $20 or therabouts in reasonably negotiable form (Saorry guys - CD's are expensive on this side of the water. SOmething to do with the damp). We'll probably end up marketing it via John Moulden's Ulstersongs also. For that matter - Max - are you interested in holding a few?
