Seán Ó Sé - Iníon an Phailitínigh - Bells of Shandon -Abair Amhrán

[Uaigneach78]

ha... I'm a direct descendant of the Palatinates...The old family stories of a right difficult time fitting in between the English and the native Gaels. Wasn't long before the forebearers married into both but interesting how the stories have remained in the family right up till now. Queen Anne's protestant plantation plans somewhat failed, we're now Catholic from Lutheran and Methodist background and we all play Irish trad instruments not to mention a few that are brilliant Sean-nos singers.

My native city of Cork was a fine and famous place before Sean O Se began to sing - it is even finer and more famous now - thanks to the wonderful contribution this school teacher from Bantry has made to the life and culture of the city on the banks of my own lovely Lee.

Riding top of open air double decker bus with Sean Se singing out The Bells of Shandon - passing by the Cathedral magnificent ride! With the perfection and the recollection...

Inion an Phailitinigh

is translated as the Palatine's daughter . The Palatines came to Ireland from western Germany in the 17th century and settled in the Co Limerick . Long since assimilated many of their names remain such as Switzer , Boveniser and Hedermann . The song is about a local Irish lad and a Palatine's daughter's courtship

Níor tharla rud ar nós sin riamh nuair a bhíos ar an mbus timpeall na cathrach... ach tá dóchas orm go dtarlóidh i gceann na haimseartha!
