Thread Name: Origin: Sliabh Geal gCua na Feile (P Ó Máille)
Subject: RE: Sliabh geal gCua
"Yes The song comes from my area of Ireland , in county Waterford to be precise and close to the town of Dungarvan near the mountain, Sliabh gCua which is celebrated in O'Milleadh's song. I think that the very finest recording of it , in the authentic "Sean Nos" style, was by the late Nicholas Tobeen of Ring in county Waterford, on an old Gael Linn Vinyl, I'm not aware of a reissue on CD? anyone?"

Gael Linn recently reissued Nioclas Tóibín's 1977 LP, together with two earlier eps, under the title, Amhráin Aneas. That release, includes Sliabh Geal gCua, and I think, represents Tóibín's entire output for Gael Linn.
