Little know fact that ‘Diddley Aye’ was the name of a 13th century Irish molester, who used to conceal himself in the bushes at crossroads and cop a feel of any comely young maiden that had the misfortune to pass his way.

It’s how I met Clamper’s mother!

Not to be pedantic(but I will be anyway), isn’t the illustration for the “Music for Dancing” a woman doing the Scottish sword dance?
Nope that’s a woman who has an itchy calf and in trying to scratch it she dropped the swords she was carrying. Most likely a reference to Sorcha “The Sword Dropper” Mhaoil the clumsy (and flea infested) pirate of Athy.
