I can only say by way of excuse that it was not conscious theft on my part, but an example of inadvertant intertextuality. In this paper I propose to give a survey of the traditional song scene in Ireland, its main events and also to attempt an exploration of some of the issues which concern singers and indeed the wider community of musicians in Ireland at the moment.Publication Aislinge Meic Con Glinne: Studies on a Middle Irish tale and its afterlives(University of Uppsala, 2013) Ní Dhonnchadha, Máirín; Máirín Ní Dhonnchadha and Jan Erik Rekdal; |~|Other|~|Studies on a Middle Irish tale and its afterlives.
