Mik2 Lyr Req: Breathnach's Kid on the Mountain - Wine (27) The Peadar O' Louglin in question 18 Nov 13


Is 'this O' Loughlin' known outside County Clare ? the short note by mr Breathnach suggests that he may have
recorded him singing this song - being the collector he was.

I admit it is a bit hard to decipher Breathnach's CRE books, even with Paul de Grae's translation -
the ' Largy ' is probably explained somewhere I haven't found yet in the book. Until then I settle for my first conclusion.

The famous flute & fiddle player O' Loughlin is here :

'according to the book's notes " Largy " is the place that this P. O. Lochlainn was native of, a small village
in County Londonderry (Northern Ireland), '

--The book's notes don't actually comment on that. The 'Largy is added in bracket to distinguish this P. O Loughlin from Peter O Loughlin-- [fiddle]-------
