Album Text (Insert)

On October 9, 1963, Ms. Murray performed in a concert in front of an invited audience at the Marian Hall in Dublin, Ireland with fellow performers Brendan O'Dowda, Laurie Morton, Breandan O'Duill, and Milo O'Shea.  The concert was recorded by Columbia and released under the title _St. Patrick's Day_, and there's a number associated with it which I believe is probably Columbia's catalog number ... 33SX 1589.  They were accompanied by the Dublin Light Orchestra, the guest conductor being Norrie Paramor.  Mr. O'Duill was accompanied by an accordion player named Jack Barrett.  I believe some of these songs are extant on the first disc of a "Best of Irish" compact disc collection somewhere.

Ms. Murray specifically performs "Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry", "Teddy O'Neill", "Delaney's Donkey", "Johnny Gray", "Dear Old Donegal", and "MacNamara's Band" as solos, and "Doonaree" and "Eileen O'Grady" as duets with Brendan O'Dowda.  Here's the complete track listing on the album:
