Notes from the Christy Moore Album
A lovely auld song, I tried to record it
many times after learning it from the
singing of Joe Heaney. I heard it on a
tape he made for Lynn Doherty in Maruba
New South Wales.
Sometimes I love to sing
this but not always. Most songs I can put
out almost at will but this one needs a lonely
air around it. It won't exist in my old
atmosphere but maybe needs the ears
of those who know the feeling of loneliness
I Wish I Had Someone To Love Me-Notes by Christy
Moore, from the box set album C.D.

Barney McKenna and Tony MacMahon interview
on a winter's morning in 1947 here in the oldest part of Dublin city in Ireland a part of Dublin inhabited by the vikings and by the Irish more than a thousand years ago a wall collapsed on the caravan of a traveling man killing the last of Ireland's great traveling musicians a man called johnny doran for 30 years he had traveled the roads of Ireland he had played at markets at fair days at gatherings of all kind for the small pieces of money his listeners gladly gave him to this day this man has inspired the folk musicians
of Ireland and so this year two of us tony McMahon is my name and a friend of mine barney McKenna we've decided to in a sense follow in the piper's footsteps not only in ireland but on the roads and streets of Europe too so i welcome you to join us in our travels and in our music welcome to the green linnit hey Tommy onall right
we've come southwest to come to Anna's to a town here it has been a meeting place for street musicians for a long time it's an old town it's a town where the players and the pipers and the fiddle players where they played at market days and festivals for many long years at the moment there is a traditional music festival here there is a great brotherhood of folk musicians all over Ireland and indeed in other countries too and many people have come today to win
us they have come to play music to talk to learn tunes to get together people to walk together people to disgust there's men i say i'd say we met before banner that's right [Music] [Music] good [Music] there's got to be more music here tomorrow hi can be sure [Music] yeah we'll see you later all right [Music] oh

they came and they played the pipes they played the fiddle they sang in the streets and i often remember my own father when i was growing up in this town would bring these men to the house nights weekends Sundays anytime and it's a tradition and sadly that is dying in Ireland today but i don't believe that these old traditions should be let die because these men made great music they made great music on the streets for people to hear and uh i think you know they used to collect it's a snag and everything folks i've told them indeed
and these people made their money by people giving them small pieces of money they went around with the hat they collected after a day it is possible it is possible that this tradition may still come back at some time because in the days when these musicians played people loved and respected well Michael Russell here is a man who has his own style of playing irish music he comes from the west coast of county Claire up near the north Michael would you like to play as a
chone maybe on the tin whistle I will tony are we on this nice day ] I'd like now to play you a slow air one of the wonderful slow wires of Ireland is called the wounded hazar and it's a tune that commemorates the hundreds of thousands of Irish men who over the centuries have died in the service of foreign armies
