James McDonald (Seamas MacDomhnaill). I am a London-based television researcher originally from County Wexford, Ireland.

My main interests are Irish traditional song and music, culure and history.

I have written pages linked to the Traditional Irish Singers page from which I am writing up biographies of the best known and most highly regarded singers from the tradition.

Pages I've started include singers:

• List of traditional Irish singers
• Traditional Irish singing
• Frank Harte
• Margaret Barry
• Zozimus
• Joe Holmes
• Con Greaney
• John Reilly (singer)

songs:

• Song Father Murphy (aka Come All You Warriors)
• The Night Before Larry was Stretched
• The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly,
• The Charladies' Ball
• Jimmy Murphy (song)
• The Flower of Gortade

historical figures:

• John Hunter Gowan II
• Colm O'Lochlainn

and:

• Hedge Schoolmaster Songs

Other pages that really need work (which I hope to get around to eventually) are:

• sean nos
• List of Irish ballads a list that I hope is never complete
• P.J. McCall
• lilting
• Liam Weldon
• Johnny Moynihan
• The Voice Squad
