Aidan O'Hara Collection. Reel-to-Reel 96 [sound recording] / [various performers]. Track 2

Speech [Talk about learning songs off records, people selling ballad sheets; Jimmy talks about his love of Gilbert and Sullivan songs which he learned from a recording of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company; he saw ballad song sellers at markets and fairs in Carndonagh the last thirty years ago; tinkers, men and women sold the songs which they had printed up, songs by Thomas Moore and the like. Sheets would be three pence or four pence each; how they know what air to sing the song to; He showed me a song called 'The Bonnie Wee Lass o' the Glen', written out for him 30 or 40 years earlier by a man from Balleighan, Malin, his name, John White Paddy, a Doherty or a McLaughlin man. Jimmy said the man had a lovely voice and he liked the song; talks about the 'timbre' in a good singer's voice. "I haven't that," he said.'

Speech [song introduction] ; Clonmany For Me, song ; Speech [Information provided by AOH: Jimmy sings a tongue-in-cheeky song, 'Clonmany for Me', written by Pat Lynch, Carndonagh. Jimmy said that Pat also wrote 'The Lighthouse Down at Bunagee' - and the funny part of it all was that there's no lighthouse at Bunagee - 'The Banks of the Shannon'. Pat was a comedian, Jimmy said. He did recitations like 'An Angel Grew Tired of Heaven'. Pat and Neil Kearney were contemporaries of Harry Lauder and the pair met him one time. Harry wanted them to travel with him on his world tour, he thought they were so good] / Jimmy Clingan, speech in English, singing in English; Aidan O’Hara, speech in English
