John Moulden is among the foremost students of Irish traditional song in English, both in popular print and in oral tradition. Although he has published articles and books about emigration songs and has been interested in singers and song makers, much of his activity has concerned the life's work of the Coleraine, Northern Ireland, song collector, Sam Henry. However, more recently, he has been awarded a PhD of the National University of Ireland for a thesis on the popular printing of songs in Ireland in the 18th and 19th centuries. He is currently a Marie Curie research fellow in the Moore Institute at NUI Galway, where he is working on an on-line edition of a collection of small song books and popularly printed prose books which was owned by a single family in the north of Ireland in the early nineteenth-century.
