The above is a cover of the Scurlogstown Olympiad Recordings from the Haymaking Festival in the Porch Fields last summer and includes a number of local artistes as well as a few of us from the Writers' Circle. It was recorded by Ronan Gorry with the photographs being were taken by Michael Durkan and there are twenty five tracks in all on the disc. A mixture of poetry and song including traditional favourites by Margaret Geraghty such as The Boys of Barr na Sráide and The Old Bog Road by Breda Rodgers and with John Quinn giving a fine rendition of Goodnight Ballivor . But there are many many more. The one that steals it though is probably the last and I would say the youngest contributor on the disc but sure get a copy yourself and have a listen. €5 each and I would say easily sourced in the Trim area.
