ppint. 11th Sep 2017		despite its notation as "traditional, arranged moore, o'flynn, irvine, lunny", "follow me up to carlow" (track b4) is a poem written by patrick joseph mccall (1861-1919), published in his "songs of erinn" (1899), entitled "the marching song of feagh machugh". the air or melody is reputed to have been a marching tune of feagh mchugh's pipers in 1580, and this may more properly fit the ''attradbution'' accorded the track on the album.



Scratchy45 11th Sep 2017		Full scans from a well-used copy added. Strange to see a "rights box" without anything in it on side 2 - I thought at first this might be because all songs were Trad. but B2 isn't. I see both sides of "The Well Below The Valley" have box but no rights organisation, though B6 is credited as an original composition as opposed to "Trad arr..." for the rest.



ppint. 25th Feb 2017		hence gales of laughter at a friend's family gathering (a wedding or a christening, yr hmbl srppnt. disremembers which), when her very irish father, richard, son of richard, strongly suggested that the ideal name for the firstborn male baby would be "richard, because he'd be richard the turd, then!". . .° ° - and most english english-speakers don't realise there's a difference between "th pronounced "th" and th pronounced "dh"", because we write them both "th" - and mispronounce "ye olde bull and bushe" something horrible besides. . .



PhilMH 25th Feb 2017		According to my Irish dad, it's because the "th" sound doesn't occur in the Irish language.



Fokeman 25th Feb 2017		Ahh, of course; "Tree men walked into a pub..."



ppint. 25th Feb 2017		it was an overcorrection: he was super-sensitive to being seen as, and looked down upon as an "ignorant paddy" by (all too-many) brits, and was aware that one of the dead giveaways was the habitual irish mispronunciation of the "th" in words as "t". unfortunately, the "th" in some english words, including the river's name, is pronounced as "t". . . (and yes, the common irish pronunciation of "th" in english words as "t" is arguably not either an indication of ignorance, nor poor education: it could be equally regarded as "part of a charming irish accent" - don't laugh - or, as perfectly correct in the social context. but that's not how it was regarded in the fifties, sixties & seventies, in much of england. neither way.)



Fokeman 24th Feb 2017		I'm just listening to this and can't believe Christy sings Sweet Thems as in "Thhhh-ems" instead of "Tems". Did he really not know how to pronounce the River Thames correctly in 1973. He'd been living in England for over a year in the 1960s.
