Courting Is A Pleasure

about

1/Courting is a Pleasure
A story of false love, alcohol, gambling and emigration that I attribute to Armagh singer Roisin White.

Sam's collection of songs is considered invaluable in the North of Ireland, the place where I was born and raised. I can't think of a more appropriate way to begin this album than with a gem from this fine collection.
