Hi all,

I am looking for the text of Ag Taisteal na Blarnan, which is an old air sung with a lyric by Ó Súilleabháin. Various artists have had their go at it in recent times, The Chieftains, O'Riada, etc..

Any ideas?

By the way, Bim Is Ag Ol is sung with a different lyric in certain Castele Hostelries in Connemara, where they say that O'Sullivan wrote his own version of it, and a fun one at that, but certainly not the oldest! The melody as they perform it, is probably fourteenth or fifteenth century martial mead quarters balladry.
