Come Day, Go Day, God Send Sunday

County Fermanagh, located in the southwest of Northern Ireland, rightfully boasts its singers and musicians. Few knew the music of this region better than Robin Morton. A singer and musician from the neighboring county of Armagh, he spent several years compiling an extensive collection throughout Ulster, and his previous publications - a book and two albums based on his field recordings - reflect the richness and diversity of Fermanagh's musical traditions. Among the singers he encountered, John Maguire from Rosslea stands out, whose extensive repertoire includes many songs rarely heard outside Fermanagh. All the songs on this album, as well as many other songs from John Maguire's repertoire, are described in the book Come Day, Go Day, God Send Sunday - a biography of John Maguire, recorded in his own words and edited by Robin Morton, published by Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd.
