Emmett Spiceland Shandon Bells?
It is an ac capella tune, really nice sounding but I can't find a copy of it I can download?
I have checked a couple of e-music sites including I-tunes but no luck.
If anyone has any info on where I could get the audio let me know. I used to hear it on Accuradio.com a long time ago. I found it on vinyl in California but they want 75$ a bit steep for one tune.
Happy St. Patrick's day!

1. Is it this song you're searching for? (not download, but more info)
WITH deep affection,
And recollection,
I often think of
Those Shandon bells,
Whose sounds so wild would,
In the days of childhood,
Fling around my cradle
Their magic spells.

I assume so--used to listen to Accuradio myself, but it stopped working well in one of my last computer updates. (Now I live on LiveIreland.com)
Anyway, it was written by Francis Mahoney (1805-1866) as "The Bells of Shandon". Spiceland's stuff seems to be all imported, so you may have better luck on UK websites. And the lyrics are at http://www.bartleby.com/101/677.html

There are 13 version to download on the net UK and USA but none correct. I really can't remember anything other than the amazing BELLS of SHANDON with what sounds like 6 part harmony but it is Donal Lunny the master so it is probably only three guys.
Accuradio crashed a bunch of computers at the hospital where I used to work so it was forbotten.
I have not heard it on liveIreland yet but hoping it might pop on one day and I can ask them more info on how to get it.
