Raphy...RIP ??? I'm shocked . Used to know Raphy from O'D's Merrion Row. A wonderful musician .

Found this tune on manuscript a few years ago and have been ever since playing on my Northumbrian pipes. Nice to hear the official version and I am happy that I guessed the tempo about right. Beautiful tune.

The clan march of the O'Donovan's

Nice sound and playing! Interesting to see the increasing use of Nyckelharpa in Celtic music. It sounds great in that context too. They seem to have been in use in Sweden at least as early as the 15th century.

[@fiedelmina]

there are depictions of nyckelharpa-like instruments in Italy and Germany from earlier than the 15th century, but it seems to have disappeared there again.

According to the sleeve notes on Pat Mitchell's LP released by Topic Records some years ago. Pat got it from Seamus Ennis it is said to have been a marching tune of the O"Donovan clan of Hy Fidhgheirte, a district west of the river Maigue in Co.Limerick.It was first published in Joyce"s Ancient Irish Music (1873); though Father Henebry referred to it in A Handbook of Irish Music (1928) as prehistoric!

Incorrect attribution...EAGLES WHISTLE O DONOGHUE MOR NOT O DONOVAN

[@flamintaika3622]

I believe you have the order wrong sir. The man in the middle is the one playing the 'Nyckelharpa' and the man on the left is the one playing the Uileann pipes.
