Thread Name: Tune Req: Grace, Irish Song
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Grace, Irish Song
I probably said this in another thread but Geoff and I went to Dublin 3 years ago for our honeymoon and visited Kilmainham gaol. It was very moving sitting in the little chapel and hearing the story about Joseph Plunkett and Grace Gifford and I found myself hearing the song in my head and the tears flowed especially as we had also just been married. I do have the tune written somewhere if its the dots you want. I would love to start singing it but keep getting all choked up but I have heard it sung very well by aelfleda in the Tap and Spile in Whitby.
