(4'32) to 'T谩 'na L谩', from the album, An Dealg 脫ir (Gael Linn, 2002) sung by P谩draig铆n N铆 Uallach谩in and accompanied by Laoise Kelly on harp, Liam 脫 Maonla铆 on bodhr谩n and Steve Cooney on guitar.
A favourite song:
'Is Fada an L谩' expresses the raw emotion of sorrow and loss by a young unmarried woman who is abandoned by her lover for another woman of means and property. It's unadorned and direct and is an outstanding example of the complex art of traditional Irish song. It was collected by the McKeown family in Crossmaglen, Co. Armagh and written down by Sean Hannon at the turn of the 20th century. The music was actually recorded separately by collector, Luke Donnellan and later transcribed by the piper, Seamus Ennis for the Irish Folklore Commission in Dublin.
 'T谩 'na L茫' or 'One for the Road' by contrast is a dance tune and drinking song very popular throughout all of Ireland. An old woman called Mary Michil Tarry Hollywood sung it for my mother, Eithne back in 1942 while sitting on a wall in the neighbourhood where I now live.
