Abstract
In the summer of 1968 I recorded 91 songs and song fragments from the local oral tradition of a district in Donegal, the North-West county of Ireland. The district happens to be roughly co-terminous with the ecclesiastical and old civil parish of Glencolumbkille, which contains the larger part of the South-West Donegal gaeltacht (native Irish-speaking area). Since the number of monoglot Irish speakers here is now negligible, the parish is bilingual wherever Irish is spoken. The 91 items I recorded were in the proportion 34 Irish, 58 English: one song being sung in the two languages.
