Thanks for the ideas one and all.

Im singing in English. No I wont be theatrical.. not my style.

Yes Comhaltas is picky and the adjudicators move the goalposts every year.

As I havnt done any Sean Nos until this year I am finding it a bit of a struggle to find what is traditional, music hall, or 20th century.

Watched the mens All Britain competition last year and one chap had a dirge of 11 verses and came 2nd... aaaggh

Got a nice CD by Carmel Gunning called Lakes of Sligo. Tend to put CDs on in the car and learn the songs.

Ah well Ormskirk here I come.

cheers
