11 Jun 99 - 12:37 PM (#85892) Subject: RE: ADD: Boatman from Lough Key From: Wolfgang sorry, can't really help you, but the tune reminds me in some parts of Skibbereen (in DT). It can be sung to that tune. Wolfgang |

20 Sep 99 - 03:42 PM (#115851) Subject: RE: ADD: Boatman from Lough Key From: Martin _Ryan Wolfgang You're right about the main placenames. Verse 2.2. "... shores of DOon" scans better?
3.1. : They proudly step on board with Jim and feel no hurt or harm
4.2 : .... tragic story of the charming Una Bawn
5.4. : Carrigeenroe
The tune is that used for "Banna Strand" - one or two of the lines seem to have been suggested by that, too. Not sure if we have it in the DT? Regards |

Dead right! I haven't been there for a few years - there was talk of major redevelopment at one stage. I think the tunnel led to an ice-house? Regards |

I was about 12 last time I was there..... and spent ages wandering around with a map... looking for raths and souterrains....... unfortunately I didn't find them. slainte alison |
