Glway Shaw was issued on LP in 1978. The album was I'll Spend A Time With You.

It was reissued on an album The Johnny McEvoy Collection around 1982. I haven't seen the LP, but this album was reissued on cd with the name 20 Collected Irish Ballads.

The point of this ramble is that the CD 20 Collected Irish Ballads butchered 19 of the songs on the CD, shortening all the songs. Galway Shawl was one of the songs butchered, losing the first verse (which is included on the original 1978 LP). Taking out the first verse wrecks the song.

Strangely, Dolphin, who put out this CD, included the whole song on another CD which is here on Youtube.

One of mums favourite songs. I'm now 56 and this song reminds me so.much of my mum.and dad, especially Saturday nights bringing friends and family back to our house after closing time for a party. All these old songs are etched in the memory forever. Was about 9 or 10 years old. Mum loved this song, sadly she passed away in 2016, and my life changed forever. Miss you bigtime mum. ☘☘☘☘.

@artseosamhogriobhta

This is one of those Irish country songs that I actually enjoy. The ornamentation is just beautiful. You can hear that mandolin at the start and we're away

My grandas song.. brought me up listening to Irish music but this song will always be his! He still with us just now but won’t be much longer and still sings this to me. We are from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but his grandparents came here from Ireland 🇮🇪 for a better life.

@Marydawgs

This brings back memories of great parties in The Bronx with Irish music playing, wonderful food served up by those who cooked for a living after they left their home in Ireland, drink flowing and family & friends laughing and sharing fun,good talk and  good, simple times with good people.Rich memories I'll cherish forever.

Mary Frances Dawgs You probably knew my father. You probably also visited upstate the catskills also. My Father was Joe Nellany and his band was the Sligo Aces, we grew up in the bronx and he played music in most of the clubs Dirty Nellys the Red Mil Galic Park. Yes they are great memories we have I know them all
