' ULSTER-AMERICAN SONGS'

on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

Collected by Sam Henry and sung by James McCafferty and Mary Johnston
Many Ulstermen who emigrated to America took their songs with them, and in their new home sang and played the folk tunes of their native land ; but they did not always remember them or sing them in the same way as their compatriots at home. It is the American version of these old Irish songs that James McCafferty and Mary Johnston will sing this evening.
