	Curragh of Kildare Trad Irish song performed by many over the years Robert Burns (1759-1796) re-wrote the original of this song as a poem, The Winter It Is Past, in 1788.
	Tipping it up to Nancy Trad Irish rant from god knows where, prob the most famous version by Christy Moore... that's where we heard it. This is some what rocked up, great fun to play as the last song of the night.
	Black is the Colour This is an old song probably dating to the 18th century. The lyrics were first recorded in around 1916 and believed to be out of the Appalacian Mountains, although it is so fully engrained in the folk tradition that many believe it to be out of Scotland as attibuted by the verse "I'll go to the Clyde" which is a river that runs through Glasgow. We have arranged it to a slightly different tune to the trad. Sample at the start from the usual nut bag Belfast Gospel hall prayer meeting.
