The Matchmaker didn't offer a soundtrack for some reason, but did list the
songs played. Its hard to read the credits though on the small screen, but
one of the songs--"She's the one"--where "Marci" is flying away toward the
end of the picture, is out on a separate cassette/CD by "World Party".
The majority of their music reminds me of the Beatles of old, and that song
is a favorite so it was worth buying the CD.
The remainder of the songs:
Rock and Roll Paddy by Shane MacGowan (and the Pagers? ...and the Pipers!)
Twelve White Horses (Kieran Kennedy)
Danny Boy (traditional Irish)
Fields of Athenry (written by Pete [?] St. John)
Candle in the Wind (Elton John)
And a Bang on the Ear (the Waterboys)
Raglan Road (written by Patrick Kavanaugh [?])
Haunted (Shane MacGowan and Sinead O'Connor)*
She's the One (World Party)
Irish Heartbeats (Van Morrison and The Chieftains)**
Female of the Species (performed by Space [?])
Sad the Girl (the Equations [?])
Shane McDonnell arranged the traditional and live music for the film.
Basically, you have to pick out what you like from the film, find a good
music store (one with a music catalog you can search through) and see if
you can find individual recordings.) Virgin (Atlantic) Records also has a
way of coming up with the unusual!
*This song was also utilized in Denis Leary's movie, "Two if by Sea", with
Sandra J. Bullock. Leary was one of the screenwriters.
** For the traditional Irish folk sound, and a crossover to the more modern
music and themes, The Chieftains are the best (simply aces!) I strongly
recommend anything by The Chieftains!
Perhaps someone else with a bigger, clearer screen, can re-read the credits
and assist you if I have any of the names wrong. Also, I am curious as to
whether "Raglan Road", was written for the film or is a traditional Irish
ballad, as it sounded? That was my favorite song from the film.
Best Regards,
DA BEAR!!!

when he was with the Pogues. If you can get into Irish music with a punk
attitude, check him out. He's one of the most gifted songwriters around.
Whoever compiled the music for Matchmaker did a great job. Shame they never
released a soundtrack.

I'd like an address/e-mail re: having a press kit sent to me.
Raglan Road is a traditional, Irish song.

Definitely check out "Fairytale of New York" by Shane McGowan and the
Pogues, featuring Kirsty McCall.. It simply is the greatest christmas
song (a bit early, I know.. but fantastic anyway...)

Woah.... sorry, forgot I'd made that post, and only just realised people had
answered :)!
Great song to get drunk to around Christmas and sing with a bunch of equally
drunk people :))
Cheers,
