This chronological list contains most known releases on which plays and sings. Titles are given as they appear on the record labels. Where possible, the first issue number is given, but the complexity of subsequent reissues is such that these are not shown. In preparing the list much use has been made of the works cited in the acknowledgment section as well as Stagg and Crump: : the Revival (Dublin, 1973).
