'Dublin Street Songs' and 'Through Dublin City' are LPs of mostly traditional Irish songs by Frank Harte. 'Dublin Street Songs' became Frank Harte's first LP recording in 1967, having been recorded in two days[1] earlier that year by Bill Leader in England at the same time as the tracks that were to become 'Through Dublin City', which was issued on the Topic label in 1973.[2]
The CD is largely made up of traditional Irish songs, though there are some exceptions such as Henry My Son, which is listed as a 'European Ballad'.
