FTX 432 - WILD ROVER NO MORE

SONGS FROM FERMANAGH & TYRONE

Interviewed by Sean O Boyle, some outstanding performers here from Maggie Chambers and her sister Sarah and Jack Kelly recorded in County Fermanagh. In County Tyrone we hear Peter Donnelly, Vincent his son, the Dungannon cobbler Terry Devlin and Margaret Loughram. Jack Kelly, originally from Co Tyrone, has a "Wild Rover" which is very different from the well-known version still prevalent at social gatherings in Britain.
