   "The Shoals of Herring" isn't Irish; it was actually composed for a   
   BBC program about English offshore fishing by Ewan MacColl.   
      
   Many Irish songs are actually set to traditional Scottish tunes; one   
   such being "No Nay Never" and another "The Wild Mountain Thyme".   
      
   Either way, between us we have one helluva musical tradition!
