Just saw the above cd up for sale and dispite it being released in 2008 this is first time I have ever heard of it.

Well, it was never "released" as such, it was a sort of showreel distributed by my publisher. And no, it contains no unreleased Pogues songs.

Do not recall ever hearing track 19. The Man He Turned Out To Be - Sarah Jane Morris. Is it the same singer that had a hit with Don't leave me this way -The Communards?

Yes, she was the one with the deep voice to Jimi Somerville's high voice.

What are these ones from?

6. Raising Cain - Philip Chevron
9. Suddenly - Philip Chevron

What are these ones from?

6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 19, 22 are demo recordings from a musical play called Jack Rooney In Person which I've been writing, on and off, for some years now. Only "Manhattan Moon" has ever appeared publicly, on Kirsty's posthumous From Croydon to Cuba box set. Kirsty's work on this project would be the last she ever did. The very next day she left London for Cozumel with James, Louie and Jamie.

Looking on ebay, i've found a 1997 Joe Heaney album called "Say A Song: Joe Heany in the Pacific Northwest - Irish Songs in the old style (Sean-Nos). But that's all!
