Thank you so much for this! I got to see Maura when she flew into the states the 1st time & showed up as a surprise w/DeDannan in Marquette, Mich. in the 70s I think. I was so happy I brought my tape recorder, what a great show!!! I cried & danced for hours!
Cheers for the info JMelvil, I don't think this was released officially by De Dannan, as I think Maura O'Connell only recorded Star Spangled Molly with the group. I think she appeared with them later in the 80s. This is probably the best thing she done with them, she normally done that Flannagan Brothers type thing with them.
Maura is a geat singer.
