Derrymacash, I wouldn`t be too sure about the singing bit, as I am sure you would like to retain your friendship with the people of the `Cash, [I am referring to my singing]. Bob Bolton "The Wearing of the Green" was as far removed from the composer of the "Derrmacash Meeting" as your fair land is to Ireland. I dug this out from an old 1948 publication and in all my time in and around the area of Derrymacash I have never heard this poem mentioned. We had our fair share of bards in the emerald isle who could put a verse or two to any local happening. Slan Ard Mhacha.
