Philippa	Lyr Req: Slievenamon (53* d)	RE: Sliabh na mBan	20 Sep 99
This is a funny thread because it's about one song title -or actually one place name - but many songs. I should add some info. about the song from O Muirithe's book which I mentioned on 27 AUG., the one with the verse about the followers of Calvin and Luther. It is not a song from 1798, but a song about Catholic emancipation and Daniel O'Connell who in 1830 became the first Catholic Member of Parliament. In Michael Mulcahy & Marie Fitzgibbon, "The Voice of the People: Songs and History of Ireland", Dublin: O'Brien Press, 1982 . There is another 19th c song about emancipation, 'The Downfall of the Tithes at Slievenamon'the history of the Irish race webpages. the site is very strong on O'Connell. There's plenty about 1798 at 1798 - Ireland
