I am a vocalist who is trying to learn the Irish Bazouki so that I can back myself up. Do you know the chords for "The Next Market Day"? I'm sure guitar chords could be transfered over. Thanks

while we are at it, I think there was a thread not so long ago asking for the lyrics to this song...

I forget the artist's name but A Celtic Sojourn was playing this song a lot for a while...Sean something or other?

It is also known more commonly as "A Maid Went to Comber"

Sit down beside me, I mean ye no harm
Sit down beside me, this new tune to learn
Here are three guineas yer mammy to pay
To hang by yer yarns til the nest market day...

A lovely song; good luck with it!

Absolutely, Yvonne!  Now we need to know if it's the right song...

Incidentally, Robin, here are a couple of bouzouki/cittern sites which you will find useful if you're not already aware of them:
