From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paddy Tunney (1921 - 2002) was an Irish traditional singer, poet, writer, raconteur, lilter and songwriter.[1]. There is dispute about his date of birth, with roughly as many sources saying 1920, as 1921. The Library of congress, usually reliable, gives 1921.[2]
