Sleeve Notes

Patsy Watchorn, well known Balladeer, Banjo Player and Dublin GAA fan has chosen these Irish ballads from his vast repertoire of songs to make up this collection of some of his favourites..

Such classics as Pete St. John's "Rare Ould Times" to the more modern ballad from Liam Reilly — "The Flight Of Earls". Songs and stories documenting times past and present in the ever changing development of Ireland and her people..

Patsy has been playing and singing with numerous performers and musicians "as long as I can remember" and was also a member of the Dublin City Ramblers..

"I hope you enjoy listening to the songs on this collection as much as I have enjoyed singing them."
