Some of these albums were posted in parallel with Countess Vanessa's Castle, I know it's a bit confusing for everyone - me included - but sometimes a sprinkle of madness doesn't disturb... does it?

  1. Thanks for all the trouble you have taken. It is appreciated.

    Just as a matter of interest, what I actually googled was "Sean Cannon Erin the Green" and the link popped up was the third one down on the first page.

    By the way, I'm pretty certain that any copy Sean has got is in far from pristine condition. So, it may be that I'll be handing his a CD copy that better than anything he has got.

    I met Sean in 1968 or thereabouts when he still had a "day job" and was beginning to do the rounds of the folk clubs of Coventry, the city to which he and his family had moved in the mid-fifties.

    I have kept in contact with him more or less ever since. He did move from Coventry to Barnsley in the seventies when he married, and stayed there for nearly two decades until his divorce in the mid nineties. He and his two sons moved back to Coventry, partly because he has a sister here wo could take care of the boys while he was away on tours the Dubliners. So that's more or less the story in a nutshell.

    Regards,

    KEVIN
