Here is my rendition of "The Fields of Athenry", one of my favorite Irish pieces.

From what I've picked up online, "The Fields of Athenry" is an Irish folk ballad set during the Great Irish Potato Famine (1845-1850) about a fictional man named Michael from near Athenry in County Galway who has been sentenced to transportation [via prison ship] to Botany Bay, Australia, for stealing food for "the young" (possibly his starving family). The food he stole was "Trevelyan's corn". Charles Edward Trevelyan was a senior British civil servant in the administration of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in Dublin Castle.
