We've not lost this Title or have we?

Now that we have such a cheery and wise bunch of members across a varity of ages wouldn't it be great to share that accumulated wisdom. Who knows, what hidden wealth of knowledge on the subjects await us?.
Given the three barrelled title we may have to split each from the other later and give them their own seperate pride of 'page'.
Personally I'd love to keep alive some of the good old Ballads which were handed down and sung to the 'ole hearts content - lubricated with a jug of the black stuff into the we small hours of the next mornings.
Even if we've lost the ability to recall all the lyrics of the songs we might just remember the titles. Perhaps we'll even re-discover the lost words curtsy of more knowledgable members.

My contribution is easy - The Curragh of Kildare.' Alas, I dont know the words.
