Hi

I was at this concert, in fact I think I played at it with some of the older teenagers. The singer is Nora McDonagh.. I 'll get the song title soon....

I'll ask around. Were you there? Where did you find the video?

I lived in Chicago between 1989 and 2000, playing with most of the Irish musicians of that era. Liz Carroll or Jimmy Keane would probably be able to identify the singer.

Who is the singer? And where did you come up with these tapes? Fantastic stuff!

Don't know who the singer is. Hoped that a viewer would identify singer and song. The performances are from an event sponsored by the Francis O'Neill Club in 1979 or 78. It featured a group of travelling musicians as well those from the North and Southside of Chicago.
