I was wondering. There is a song called Tis Pretty to be in Ballenderry on the first album [my favorite BTW]. Where are Ballenderry and Bonnie Ram's Island? Are they actual geographic locations?
God Bless,

Hmm, i tried looking it up, but couldnt find anything, but I'm going to assume that they do, because its a trad. song, and it would make sense that they would pick real places when making up the lyrics

Hey Tia!
I couldn't find information when I looked either. I guessed that it was as well, because it is a traditional song, but I wanted to be sure.
God Bless,

Hey affanoffiona and faerie
On this very board, page 2, Joe has a thread called "What was that she said?"... it should answer your questions. It also has translations for almost every gaelic phrase, name and place mentioned in Cottars songs
Cheers,
Ginny

Ok, that's just embarrassing. Sorta like searching for hours for your hat when, all the while, it was on your head.  Tia had an excuse, because that thread was made long before she joined. God Bless, afanoffiona |
