For the benefit of anyone looking for John McKenna recordings who is brought here by search engine. It has been pointed out in this discussion viewtopic.php?f=2&t=89876 that you can listen to all the tracks from the cassette referred to above at the Comhaltais archive (http://comhaltasarchive.ie).

Thanks.

at the risk of repetition...they're on the CCE Archive :-?
http://comhaltasarchive.ie/search?tab=t ... hn+McKenna

If the above doesn't work, just go to the archive and type John McKenna in the search box...or anything else takes you're fancy. You can do that as a guest without creating an account.

PS. If you have an account and then forget your password (like me) there appears to be no way to retrieve it from the website :oops:
