@quillber No its not.

@quillber Well, we're going to have to beg to differ here. I'm not denying that it has an Irish flair, but as I say, there is some overlap; only the other day I was listening to an English Medeival folk song that sounded rather Irish, but it was English through and through. I'm just trying to defend one of the only decent folk songs that we in England have; Ireland have much better musical culture tbh.

@Indeed999 I realise there are similiarities to the two (p.s call Ireland the 'British Isles' anywhere in Ireland at your peril, its not socially accurate) and that the lyrics are of English origin but that style of music would have only been brought back with colonisers. theres a big difference between English folk and Irish trad. here you are listening to Irish trad over an English folk tune.

@quillber The music isn't Irish. Dance to your Daddy is a common English folk tune; don't know where you're from, but the British Isle culture is very merged and we do have our own fiddle songs.

@Indeed999 Ireland is full of Kerr's though. i just think its funny that this comment section is like a BNP meeting when the music is distinctly Irish.

@quillber Ms. Kerr is English

[quillber]

performed by a Ms.Kerr and a Mr.Fagan, no wonder it was sounding... mysteriously, um... Irish, in every way

True. No worries we digressed a tad there but yes. I once met a Norwegion Fisherman who knew this song. He reckoned he in turn got it from a Frisian who live in Blyth for a while earning his keep on the boats.

Great people Fishermen friendly to a fault.

@HarryBodensson I stand corrected! I meant the culture of this song isn't "English" or "Scottish" exclusively, but it belongs to the areas on the coast above and below the border. :) I mean they fish in the same waters in the same kind of boats and both have wives and children.
