@djsmurfie Look hard enough and you'll find lots of songs that are originally Irish.

@djsmurfie Quite right

@djsmurfie That's quite a sweeping claim - true, there are thousands of fantastic English Folk Songs and Traditional Ballads, as well as Scottish ad Welsh ones, but you are neglecting the element of cross-fertilisation in the folk tradition. Also, I can't be sure, but you possibly have no clue whatsoever about our vast numbers of wonderful songs in the Gaelic Language . . . ? Ditton for wonderful Scottish Songs in Gaelic.

I've Just bought a compilation with Alex Glasgow, mainly because of a song he did for an old television serie. Dance To Thy Daddy. The song "Sally Whitley" is on it, and i prefer this version much more than Dubliners and Bob Fox. It is a Geordie song.
You can buy it on Amazon.uk. (I love the dialect, it´s absolutely fantastic.)

I've never heard this version before. I'm sure there was a version by Alex Glasgow, but can't find it on here.

@s0cietysreject No, in actual fact only a fraction of the songs they sing are Irish - many of them, infact a sizable chunk of them are English and some are Scottish. This song is from Northumbria in northern England - think about the size difference of the two countries: do you think Ireland has a monopoly on traditional music? I could be so bold as to say there's probably far more English folk songs than Irish songs, and many that you think are Irish are actually English...
I never knew the Dubliners sang this... Thought it was a local song!
