Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Rug Muire Mac Do Dhia
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rug Muire Mac Do Dhia
I realise this thread is more than five years old, but I'm quite interested in the origin of this song. I know it was in Seán Óg Ó Tuama's collection, but he didn't write it (apparently). Philippa, you say you know members of Cór an Ghrianáin: can you put me in touch with them? Or with "Fear Faire"? He only seems to have posted to Mudcat in '04, but he seemed intrigued by the bardic quality of this poem, and he might have learned more about it since. I don't know how to get in touch directly with you, but I'd prefer not to post my email address. Go raibh maith agat.
