Ard Mhacha---A pile [a high pile~!] of years back, in a song circle at Girvan fest.,chaired by an ould Irish fella--sorry, can't name him---I came up with "I saw From the Beach" by Thomas Moore. Far from askance, or indifference, the ould Lad came to me and thanked me for the contribution, remarking that he hadn't heard it sung for a long time. So I wouldn't be too sure that Moore's songs aren't appreciated in "folk" circles. Boab
