Billy O'Shea

Hi guys may I enter the "Fray"

I have followed the thread after E-mailing dan with regard to his recording.

I have been singing Billy O'Shea for some years and have a version wich is not made up from couplets of other shanties and was always led to believe it was a Liverpool song (any Liverpudlians will know the name Shea) However I do not hail from Liverpool or Ireland so have no vested interest, BUT it is a damn fine song (if it was written recently, I wish I had written It ! ! ! )

That's my contribution from old Blighty, It hasn't helped but I couldn't help but get involved.

Yours

Graeme
