Eileanóir a Rún is a love story from the sean nós singing tradition. The subject of these songs is often unrequited love, but not in this case where Eileanóir, when asked to elope with the poet, agrees to do so. The song is commonly sung throughout South Connemara and this particular version comes from the singing of Máire Ní Mhaoilchiaráin.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman
