I've been a bit remiss about getting a new post up lately, but rest assured that our group is going on full speed. I missed the meeting where the group read "The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly" aloud, but we started off our most recent meeting with this very Irish rendition, which Tom was able to dig up for us. There are some other versions out there that sound a bit lighter but I think I prefer the dourness of this one, even if it is slightly abbreviated. For your entertainment and edification, a ballad by Mr. James Joyce. Feel free to read (or sing) along.

That's wonderful! Thank you Seana--and Tom, for finding it in the midden of YouTube for us!
ReplyDeleteThis song, sung by Enya, is central to the short story "Clay" in "Dubliners".
