Hi all,

There is a lot of tribute programmes on both Irish TV and Radio at 
the moment due to the 25th anniversary of the death of Sean o Riada 
who composed Mna na h-Eireann . As a result Kates' track has got the 
odd airing on the radio .Gay Byrne , our top broadcaster ,played the 
track on his show but incorrectly said that Kates' parents were from 
Waterford .

One last thing about Mna na h-Eireann, Common Ground did get TV 
advertising in Ireland and Northern Ireland  around the time of 
release . It featured black and white photos of the artists 
(including one of the Red Shoes shots of Kate) and a small snippet of 
Mna na h-Eireann was heard .

Sean :-)
