Una Bhan was a great beauty born to the MacDiarmada clan who were the chieftains of Mayo. Its a long song nearly 12 minutes. But I was given this tuning (DADFsharp GD) by one of my internet buddies and the song just leapt out at me. I do hope you like - particularly over there in Ireland and one of your great folksingers has a shot at it. You can of course download it for free. https://soundcloud.com/denise_whittle/the-legend-of-una-bhan |
