ME MUDDER WARNED ME ABOUT THESE CORK WOMEN. JESUS, SHE DID. SHE SAID IF ONE OF THEM ASKS ME FOR A LIGHT TO RUN AND TO KEEP RUNNING. I'M A GOOD, HOLY, IRISH CATHOLIC, YOU SEE. FULL-BOOODED MALE. MASS EVERY DAY, STATIONS OF THE CROSS, NOVENA, COMMUNION,CONFESSION. AND I DO ALL THESE THINGS EVERY DAY. WHEN I TOLD THE PRIEST I HAD A HABIT OF WANKING, HE TOLD ME TO SAVE IT UP FOR MARRIAGE. BUT I DO, I SAID TO HIM. I HAVE GOT TWO BUCKETS FULL UNDER THE BED.

amen to all that!!

BY THE WAY: Some people are BORN to sing. they do NOT need training. if they get the voice-coaching thing, their natural voices are RUINED. that is why Margaret Barry hypnotised us with her pure voice. God's gift to her a nd she used it well. Oh, and margaret was a full-blooded corkonian!! now, i've heard about those cork women ..... !!

@emmaohare2008 DEAR EMMA: I love your great-granny singing THE LARK IN THE CLEAR AIR, accompanied by whoever. But Eileen Donaghy sang it UNACCOMPANIED and it was beee-uuu-tifu! Some songs actually sound BETTER without a musical accompaniment. Same with that lovely THE NEXT MARKET DAY.

I heard a police/garda lady singing it unaccompanied recentlly and it was moving. I moved my bowels. Seriously, though, MB and ED are still my 2 fave irish singers.

THE ONLY SONG I LIKE HIM SINGING IS PEGGY GORDON. HE DID IT AS A DUET WITH LULU ON A B.B.C. ULSTER T.V. SHOW. LULU THOUGHT IT WAS AN IRISH SONG AND BRIAN THOUGHT IT WAS A SCOTTISH SONG. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM WHERE IT CAME FROM? PROBABLY ENGLAND! BUT I WOULD LOVE TO GET THEIR VERSION ON C.D. IF IT HAS BEEN RELEASED.

LULU CAN SING PUCCINI, I'LL STILL ENJOY HER SINGING ANYTHING.

Well there is NO song that your great granny did not improve immeasurably with her pure, honest no-frills interpretations. Truly one of a kind.
