O'Carolan was born in 1670 near Nobber, County Meath, but in 1684 he moved with his family, to Ballyfarnon, County Roscommon, where his father took a job with the MacDermottRoe family of Alderford House. Mrs. MacDermottRoe gave him an education, and he showed talent in poetry. After being blinded by smallpox, at the age of eighteen, Carolan was apprenticed by Mrs MacDermott Roe to a good harper. At the age of twenty-one, being given a horse and a guide, he set out to travel Ireland and compose songs for patrons. For almost fifty years, Carolan journeyed from one end of the country to the other, composing and performing his tunes.

"But what of the man himself? Various sources say that he was cheerful
and gregarious, enjoyed ludicrous stories, practical jokes and, according
to one biographer - Donal O'Sullivan - he was an excellent
backgammon player. As with many harpers of the time, he also drank
a great deal, and he had a temper.
