Hi

This must be in Richards database somewhere.

if not try looking for it as "My love Nell", or "Sliab na ban".

Slainte

It's hiding, as things often do, in the database: the code is STARDOWN. I got this by asking for "Bantry Bay" which occurs in the chorus. *Dick - can't you make the DT a bit more accessible??*

Didn't seem to be hiding for me. Use the search box at the top of the page. I put "star of the county down" in the box and got the song as the second search result.

I think the issure here is that one needs to understand a search engine. So many Folk songs have multiple titles and so many people come here with just a line or snibbit of the song that *Whatever* Dick did would confuse someone who doesnt give the search engine a try.

Considerring that this is the easiest to use song data base on the net I dont think there is much room to complain.

my 2 cents. Bo.

If you search for the words Star of the County Down, you'll get all the songs that contain those five words anywhere in the song, its notes, whatever. If you surround a phrase with square brackets; ie [Star of the County Down], you'll get only the songs with that complete phrase. The problem with that is that some songs have alternate spellings. I'd search for [County Down*], just in case some fool put an e at the end of it.
