FIRST HEARING:
Recorded between 1938 and 1941 the tapes have been digitally repaired by Frank Wappit and 'bring back to life' the vocal stylings of Delia Murphy.
It's not quite 'folk song', nor is it 'music hall' but, today, it all certainly falls into the traditional song category.
Great crisp, clear singing. Enjoy.
