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
