Thread Name: O'Carolan pronunciation
Subject: RE: Folklore: O'Carolan pronounciation
With a soft TH or a hard one? And oh yeah, as long as i am picking brains..........."the man's name was 'Carolan' (or 'Cearbhalláin')"
how do i say "Cearbhalláin" with a thick united statition accent? LOL! Thanks for all the help, peoples. Carolan's tunes are a long favourite of mine, the total reason that i play the Hammered Dulcimer. Here's to Laurie Riley for introducing me to his lovely work.
