SongLore is a work in progress. It probably always will be. It is a collection of traditional songs and related folklore, anecdotes, and information which relate to them. The intention is not only to collect and disseminate songs, but to reconnect them with the cultural contexts in which they were created and provide a glimpse of the fascinating depths contained in folksong.

I am currently a Ph.D. student studying folklore and figurative language at the Irish World Academy in Limerick. This site is a part of my research. If you have any questions, comments, songs, or information, I would love to talk with you! Check out the contact page, and please get in touch. In the meantime, have a look around, and enjoy.
