| Other recordings and Sheet Music by Kathleen Loughnane |
This recording presents Kathleen Loughnane's arrangements of a selection of tunes contained in the manuscripts of Patrick O Neill (1765-1832), giving an insight into the eclectic range of music popular in south Tipperary/Kilkenny in the late 18th and early 19th Century. The tunes were collected by Patrick O'Neill and represent his rich efforts to preserve what could still be saved from the gradual erosion of an Irish way of being.Audio samples - coming soon
