Also, The Homes Of Donegal, which Paul Brady recorded a great version of.

Any idea what it's called? Or even provide a Youtube link if you could please.

I wouldn't mind having a listen :)

White City.....the tune is definitely The Curragh of Kildare, speeded up a bit.The instrumental at the end of Turkish Song of the Damned...is another 'trad arr'.....Fairports,Moving Hearts, Swarbrick and Carthy and countless others all recorded versions back in the day.

Thanks. Interesting stuff. Any idea which version the Pogues might have worked from? Seems that James Galway and the Chieftains did a version in 1986 but not sure about before this.

That's for that link. It seems to focus more on Pogues originals than covers, but good to see.

I tweeted Spider and James about Nicaragua Libre, Star of the County Down and Limerick Rake but no joy.

Google just reminded that Zuzana pulled some info together on this a while back: http://www.dzm.com/~zuzana/pogues-borrowedmusic.html

Another strange one - if you Google "The Hen and The Cock are in Carrickmacross", you only get references to the boxset and no other versions. It makes me wonder whether this title is some sort of in-joke. Gary Owen seems like a better lead as that at least seems to have been done by several other likely acts.
