Episode Synopsis

The final installment of the Wild Rover Podcast looks at the song in Ireland before the Dubliners came along as well as where Luke Kelly’s iconic version might have originated. Featuring performances from Cormac Mac Diarmada, Cat Forster and Mark O'Kane. Do yourself a favour and check out Brian Peters' article The Well-Travelled 'Wild Rover' (Folk Music Journal Vol. 10, No. 5 (2015), pp. 609-636), which I relied on heavily while creating this podcast. https://campsite.bio/firedrawnear
