The folk song 'The Irish Rover' is beloved.

This exaggerated story of a great ship, her strange cargo and crew and their unfortunate voyage has been sung for centuries.

How much of this tall tale is true?

Join us as we ask that question to the last of the Irish Rover.

This bonus episode is dedicated to Mary Measom, who loved all things Irish, and never failed to remind me of my incredible luck, and to the 'magnificent' Professor Josephine Maltby who is remembered as such by her friends.

We are indeed fortunate, and grateful.
Cheers,
