Irish Music Mystery On 3/10/2018 11:46 PM, Kristin wrote: Hi Uncle Phead, It's been a lot of years since you helped me with solving some music mysteries and when your name popped into my head tonight I thought of another music mystery that I haven't been able to solve. I'm hoping that you might have more luck than I have. In 1987 we traveled from Canada to Wexford in Ireland.  We drove up in the general direction of Kilkenny, and somewhere along the way we asked some of the local people to suggest an Irish band to help us really feel in the spirit of the trip. We bought the tape set that was suggested, listened to it over and over again, and then brought the set back to Canada, until the tapes were eventually all lost. I'd love to figure out the name of the group and be able to get another set of their music, and I hope you might be able to help me with that. What I know is that it isn't the Irish Rovers. We wanted more traditional songs, not rock songs.  It was a set of three white tapes, with blue labels,  with mainly male vocals but a few of the songs had female vocals as the lead. The songs that I can remember being on the set were - God save Ireland -Old maid in a garret -black velvet band - good bye Mrs Durkin -Rising of the moon - Finegin's wake - A nation once again - Wild colonial boy - Never wed an old man This list is all that I can remember being in the set, although with 3 tapes in the set there were definitely more songs that I can't remember. Any help you can provide, or other leads you can suggest, would be very appreciated. Thank you, Kristin  Hi Kristin, This one may be quite difficult. I could not find one set of tapes or records or CDs with all of those songs included.  However, many of those songs appear on some anthologies of Irish folk music. In searching, something that I had to consider was that you might be mis-remembering some of the exact song titles and also that the tapes may have been an anthology, not by just one band, but by several bands or singers. Another thing to consider is that, since you bought the set in Ireland, that particular set may have never been released in Canada or the USA and therefore might not be listed on the Internet. Searching by the list of songs, I found two bands that covered most of these songs. That might give you a starting point. They are "The Dubliners" and "The Dublin City Ramblers." For listings of the songs that these two bands have covered, see: Dublin City Ramblers The Dubliners I'll post this for reader input.
