Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin,
Siúil agus sochair agus siúil, go ciúin
Siúil, go dtí an doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán

(english trans)
Come, come, come, O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move;
Come to the door, and away we'll flee,
And safe for aye may my darling be

Bristol for most of working life. Ealing for a few years. Now, retirement in Brighton.
Played bit of guitar during ‘70s / ‘80s. (Basic folk/blues/jazzy stuff. 
Little music, (busy working) during ‘90s.  Back to regular music making post 2000. But now all trad folk, mostly Irish. First on mandolin, then tenor banjo, currently bouzouki. But during last year or so, trying to relearn what guitar I once new…. And hopefully, eventually progressing beyond that.
