Éamonn an chnoic - Wolfe Tones

"Éamonn an Chnoic" ("Ned of the Hill") is a popular song in traditional Irish music. Mournful ballad with a somber theme and no chorus.

The song concerns Éamonn Ó Riain (Edmund Ryan), an Irish aristocrat who lived in County Tipperary from 1670 - 1724 and led a bandit or rapparee gang. Although there is no positive proof of Ryan's existence, he is mentioned in a pamphlet of 1694, in which he and four other raparee leaders called for the overthrow of William of Orange in favour of the Catholic James II.[1]

I'm not Irish at all but I love Celtic music...so much better than the auto-tuned, sexualized pop garbage churned out by music factories in America.

I play this on the Harp and it is meant to be a slow air as I played this as a slow air at the All Irelands Music Festival and got 1st place 2 times in a row. If you can make it slower, I would acually listen to it.
