David Ingerson | Lost Irish Folk Music? (6) | RE: Lost Irish Folk Music? | 15 Aug 03 |
I understand there was a tradition of singing the Fenian Lays or Ossianic Lays (not sure of the name) that died out in Ireland in the early part of the last century but survived in Scotland until the 50's or so. They were not sung in the sean nós but in an apparently older style, rather like a chant, if I'm remembering correctly. |
