Don't know if anybody's already mentioned this, but I've heard it twice on Radio One Ireland's "Mystery Train" programme which is always worth a listen.There is a version of 'The Homes of Donegal' sung entirely in Japanese by a Japanese singer.
I don't know if its good or bad, but I find it strangely compelling.... (Think what The Rocky Road To Dublin Would Sound Like)
If anybody else has heard it please let me know, I just want to make sure I'm not hearing more than the usual voices in my head.
(I'd definitely buy the album if I could find it)
