I have FINALLY rediscovered this song after searching for what feels like forever. Coming across the Celtic Christmas cd cover that my parents had gotten me for christmas when I was little, brought back a flood of memories. I listened to this song on repeat for a very long time, and to me it is, childhood. What a wonderfully, beautiful song.
+Jeff Leach Music It's very simple and very complex - how does a beautiful tune develop into a beautiful tune... that's what happens when you listen to it.God bless you and everyone.
Composer of the lyrics was Micheál Óg Ó Longáin,from Carraig na bhFear, Co. Cork. The incident took place at Carrigmocléar, near Nine-mile-house, Co. Tipp. Location is signposted at least twice on Clonmel to Kilkenny road!
+Terence Barry Any idea who wrote this transcendent piece of literature, which is what this song is... I'm from Kilkenny, an adjoining county - loving Tipperary more and more...
Yes, Sliabh na Mban (Women's Mountain) is one of my favourite Irish slow airs. They're playing it in E major in this video. I play it in D major on my low D whistle, and D is obviously much more commonly used in Irish traditional music.
Yes, it is. I play it myself on the Colin Goldie low D whistle. You'll also find Liam's uilleann pipes version on his great album 'The Piper's Call' (1999).
Most beautiful music, touches the very soul❤
R.I.P. dear friend. Keeps the pipes blowin' til we all join you.
The most beautiful Irish slow air, played by the master of the uilleann pipes and the whistle, sorely missed.
So beautifully played. The whistle poignantly transcends all.
Superb. RIP Liam.
Liam og ,a fantastic entertainer

He was indeed a master musician and he will be a hard act to follow,if ever
Lots of love from Connemara, Ireland

Depth meaning and beauty echos through the ages
It's dismaying to hear that people were chattering during this stunningly lovely performance.
It's just so beautiful.

Would love to know, what exactly happened?????
Sing is associated with an incident during 1798 rebellion
Great music.
Great players, delightful music!
@midnightwalker2712 Unfortunately I have no more videos of Liam and I don't know where this one was recorded. Thanks for sharing your comment.
Sliabh na mBan (The Mountain of Women) a Tipperary song to commemorate the 1798 Rebellion

Beautiful song with a melancholic undertone. Does anyone knows in what key Liam is playing?
Yes, Sliabh na Mban (Women's Mountain) is one of my favourite Irish slow airs. They're playing it in E major in this video. I play it in D major on my low D whistle, and D is obviously much more commonly used in Irish traditional music.
Is there any sheet music for this? I've been looking for a few years.
I think that's Arty McGlynn on guitar and Rod McVey on keyboards.
Neat.
That's a very warm sounding whistle. By the way - This is my first time on .... Google+. I guess there are profiles here, too? I'll figure it out(!)
lovely song, but wish those chatty cathies were not there...
Nice, but it's not 'Sliabh na mBan'.
Yes it is its an air called slibn ma mban
Yes, it is. I play it myself on the Colin Goldie low D whistle. You'll also find Liam's uilleann pipes version on his great album 'The Piper's Call' (1999).
