Does anyone have the historical background to this haunting trad Irish ballad. I've just recently acquired the recording by Patrick Galvin (thank you again Dita). I seem to recall that I read somewhere that it refers to an incident during the "Tithe War" in 1831 (protests about tithes, the tax on the whole community for the sole upkeep of the established Church of Ireland). O'Lochlainn calls it, "The Sorrowful Lament for Callaghan, Greally and Mullen- killed at the fair of Turloughmore". And which Turloughmore is it, Clare or Galway?
