Thank you for allowing a great storyteller breathe new life into our nations history through research, preservation and an appreciation of our shared past.
You might be looking in the wrong direction. William Rooney is the man to look at. Beaslai's preface suggests that Griffith used 'so many pseudonyms that his writings were difficult to identify'. Griffith didn't use half as many as Rooney, and it's no surprise that Beaslai, with his track record, gets his facts wrong. The Primal Light is probably by Rooney?
That opening is just like *pow*! Fantastic 💚
Lisa, you are an amazing young woman, thanks for all that information.
Really great, deep depths plumbed, indeed. Thanks so much for this!

That was beautiful!
Lovely song at the end. A sort of Nanci Griffith meets Luke Kelly sound.
This woman astound me , Our next McGowan..
Great video! What is the instrument that Lisa is playing the drone on?
That's a Shruti box. They're from India but have made their way into trad music recently due to their great droning sound
Check out Norin ni Rinn first one I heard using one of the Shruti boxes
If time was music it would be a drone.
She’s unique

I need to go listen to Ivor cutler now.
