Much Blindin' Down the Marsh

Extract from album notes: "The Music and Songs on this CD consists of material which I have collected, learnt, written or osmosicised from frequenting bars, houses (of ill and fair repute) in the Drogheda area and further afield right down to Mullacrew and Louth Village. Some of my influences have come from recordings and tapes, in particular I was drawn to regional traditional music – a good instance being Muckram Wakes’ album ‘A Map of Derbyshire’ where regional versions of (mundane)songs and tunes presented a unique perspective on well-worn material and regional or local songs such as ‘The Cow in the Gate’ were given the prominence they deserved.
