Comhaltas published a collection of songs of 1916. Can anyone give me the name of it?

I've never seen or heard of this - itma? Comhaltas archive? Paddy Berry? Not in Zimmermann or, I think in Hugh Shields' short bibliography. Do you have more details?

I found the name of the book, with the help of Maeve Gebruers in the ITMA.

See it here: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/In-Song-And-Story-by-Donnchadh-o-Cinneide/293929851882?hash=item446f959bea:g:f0oAAOSwl5Bf6gNR

It appears to be vanishingly rare. Although hyped in Treoir upon its publication, no trace of it can be found on the CCÉ website.

Published for the centenary? Must have been a short run if it's already disappeared. Odd.

Regards

The author presents a show on Tipp MidWest FM - maybe he'd be contactable through the station and have copies.
