MacMurrough now comprised of Mary Kavanagh (nee ONeill) and Paul Kavanagh recorded their third album Merry and Fine in Dublin and Wexford in Autumn 1977. Released early in 1978 on Polydor Ireland pressing was limited to 500 copies. Their sublime male/female vocal harmonies reign with Paul and Mary accompanying themselves on guitars, dulcimer, whistle, concertina and bodhran. Merry and Fine features a mix of traditional and contemporary material from the Irish, English, Scottish and Breton folk repertoires. Local songs from their native Wexford include The Wexford Fishing Song, Buncloudy, Lowlands Low, The Croppy Boy and Boulavogue the latter two from the 1798 rebellion. Breton Dance/Musical Priest highlighted links between Irish and Breton traditional music while Ian Campbells The Old Mans Tale is bitingly contemporary. Mac Murroughs performances on Merry and Fine blended the enthusiasm of Carrick River with the sophistication of MacMurrough, A powerfully vibrant consistent album, Merry & Fine seals Mac Murroughs fate as one of the lesser known legends of the Irish Acid folk canon.
