I am trying to find the folk cassette by a group called Aisling.
Album is called 'Maidin' with female singer named Susan Guiney.

It was released on Woodenship Records in about 1988. Woodenship Records
was out of Glendale, California. I saw the Billboard mention of the album per recent response to my other post. However, no luck in calling a phone number from that article from that date.

I used to have this tape cassette many years ago but unfortunately it got lost and I have not been able to find it again. I believe it was ONLY released on a cassette tape in 1988, and not on a CD later.

If anyone knows how I could get in contact with Susan Guiney or someone could sell me a copy of this cassette I would appreciate it very, very much!

As I mentioned, I had no luck in calling a phone number in the Glendale, California for Woodenship records or person associated with that company
from 1988. Probably record company no longer in business as
it was a small indepndent record company at that time.

Susan Guiney does an outstanding cover of the song,
Shennandoah (spelling?) Well, I'll think you'll know of the
song. I don't remember the names of any other members of
this group. The front cover of the cassette had a drawing
of a lady, not a photograph.

Or if anyone has a current email where I could contact Susan
Guiney, folk singer in group Aisling that would be helpful.

Thank you,
Lin

Well, not the cassette exactly, but I found a video of the group from 1988 at the National Irish Fair in Los Angeles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HduWEJHyUnU. Maybe they played some of the same songs from the cassette? I know it's not the same but it's a start.

Members from the video include:
Richard Gee - Vocals & Guitar
Sue Guiney - Vocals & Guitar
Mark Romano - Mandolin & Vocals
Suzanne Gee - Bodhrán

I also found 3 songs from the album this time:
The Gypsy Rover
Mommy Singing Skibbereen
Barney Rush

The poster, "Aisling Guiney" is probably one of the original members of the group -- you can try posting a comment on the YouTube video and asking her if she could share the rest with you.

Short of cost-based web-stalking services, I couldn't find any *public* contact links for them. BUT, if you search their names on Facebook I was able to find a few of them. Just look for one in California. To be honest I don't feel comfortable giving out their public facebook accounts though, so I'll leave you to find that and message them on your own.

Check out this link for Richard Gee. I believe he's the same Richard Gee from Aisling:

Folkworks - Richard Gee

This may be worth investigating further.
