00:51.
00:53and from there I head on to Ballyduff.
00:55I want to learn and understand the Siannose tradition
00:58that came out of this part of the country.
01:01I'm excited to learn about the song collectors from this region
01:04and be taught some of the songs from the area, too.
01:10Well, I'm going to talk about the song collectors from the area, too.
01:15I'm going to talk about the song collectors from the area, too.
01:21And to help you with the song attachment,
01:25it could be known as the Hinderburg and Norra.
01:29You can learn about the tradition of the village.
01:31You can learn about the village that you have in the village,
01:35and you can learn about the village even more.
01:39You can learn about the village and the village about the village.
01:42That's all for the city to join the village.
01:51Hello. How are you doing? What are you doing, huh? Hello you. Where are you? Will we go in? Come on.
02:01There was a folklore collector who came here in 1940, Liam de Noura. He got the job from the folklore commission to collect.
02:09But he didn't know where to start. He didn't even know about Ring at the time, even though he was a fluent Irish speaker himself.
02:16And he collected songs in Belly Saggart. And they were much the same songs as they are sung in Ring today.
02:24So that's what really piqued my interest in the whole thing. So, like, those songs were all over rural Ireland.
02:32But then as the Irish language retreated into the Gwaltucked areas, the songs disappeared because everyone was speaking English and the story of the song wouldn't have been that important to people.
02:44It was important to the people themselves that had the songs in their heads.
02:48Yeah. He just weaved his way around the county and he'd inquire and then he got information. Such a fella knows a few songs or whatever.
02:56Wrote the songs down as they were being sung. And he wrote the music down as well. So he was a genius.
03:04And I could go through all the... That's the way he did it.
03:10Gives a look at this.
03:12And this was a famous song that was made famous by Nicholas Tobin, who is one of the most famous Shenno singers.
03:21But this song was collected in Belly Saggart. And it was sung by Bobby Lyons. He had this song, but he had interesting things in the song that Nicholas Tobin doesn't have in his song.
03:32So the Belly Saggart people were all over rural Ireland. Names in it. The name of the Connerys were a family that were evicted down in West Watford, half an hour from here.
03:46Boughadoon was the name of the place. The family were evicted, but they stood up for it and they tried to kill the agent that was evicting him.
03:56And they were transported to... Well, the song says New South Wales. Not sure where they actually ended up.
04:03The songs are really personal. Not just to the families, but to each area. It's what you know, like Annie's story.
04:13Yeah, yeah. You're an archer. Thank you very much. Yeah, yeah. It's easy to say. Yeah.
04:20The song goes on.
04:31All right.
04:41All the time is so sweet,
04:45The love of my soul is so sweet,
04:51The love of my soul is so sweet,
04:53The love of my friends are so sweet,
04:57The very best students are so sweet,
04:59And the way they are so sweet,
05:01We need to be here to sit down and sit down and sit down.
05:18I had a moment, a moment,
05:22..but the first time I was in the area...
05:27..is the first time I would go to the field...
05:30..and then the first time I would go to the field.
05:35And I would like to go to the field in the field...
05:40..but I would like to see the next time I had been in the field.
05:52needed to pick your brains about. There was a couple of, there was Hindeberg I'd
05:59like to know more about, because I know he was really important to this area.
06:03Yeah, he was I'd say amongst the first to actually go amongst the people and
06:08start making recordings, ethnographic recordings. Thankfully those recordings
06:12survived and were able to listen in today, which is an amazing thing to be
06:15able to listen in today on singers from that time, 1903, 1905.
06:21Which is really unusual. Which is fantastic. And he wrote this, this book, well it was
06:25actually not published until after his death, but he was in the process of
06:29writing this, this work here, a handbook of Irish music. Yeah, there's a picture of
06:34him here, we should have a look. And we might say a few things. This is him here,
06:39Richard Hindeberg, Dr. Richard Hindeberg. And this is somebody who came from outside,
06:44if you like, from outside and above. You know, he was a clergyman and very
06:48respected. And he actually showed the people that they had something really
06:51special in a sense. You know, he was one of those that did that.
06:55And tell me about Maura Nigroma. Maura Nigroma. There's no great record of the
07:00people that's extant from, from those times, you know. So we're, we're, I would
07:07say, trying to piece together little, little pictures of people sometimes. And
07:11that's the case with Maura Nigroma. We know that she, that she was born maybe in the
07:15late 18th century. That she lived through the famine times. I think that our oral traditions are
07:23kind of often overlooked, as to their value in terms of what they can tell us
07:27about events, you know. And when you have something like our, our own the
07:31brothel duo, which is Maura Nigroma's account of, of how she felt during the famine.
07:37When you have something like that, that's, you can't put a price in that. That's
07:41coming from the people. It's an account of, of, of what they felt and how they felt at
07:46the time, you know. So her, our own the brothel duo, then, the famine song, as it's
07:52sometimes referred to, as, well, that was collected by a man called Niclas Thó Bíin in
07:59this area. We mentioned Niclas earlier on. He was one of the first to attend
08:03Dulce Gólinamón. She had the brothel duo, you know, or go on the scoping. It's very, a very,
08:08very sad item. You know, it talks about how the neighbors have all been scattered on
08:13account of the, the, the, the failed crop of potatoes. And, uh, she says something
08:19quite controversial in here. It was considered an out on Crusta because the
08:23clergy weren't too enamored with some of the content of the song. She said, in
08:27one part of it,
08:27God didn't ordain that this should happen to the Irish people, you know. And I
08:36suppose the thinking would be that everything is the will of God. And so to
08:40say, Níhé Díá Cíab Bíilván Úbársá is, is challenging, you know, really, really,
08:45she was saying it was, it was something that was put upon us.
08:48Was put upon us. This makes all the difference to our
08:52understanding. It does. It's, it's, as I said, they count from below.
08:58One dollar hell, looks at how beautiful we Parlour said that the
09:02people in the slaughterhouse first.
09:04Yeah, that's right here.
09:04Again,
09:05�� Лиа,
09:07it's the old song I can sit in with my arms.
09:12Children crying,
09:14and screeching every morning
09:15the pangs of hunger,
09:16you know,
09:16and nothing,
09:18nothing to eat,
09:22The Jews spoke in the eyes of the people who were born in the house,
09:31the first house was called the name of the Father.
09:37The people who were born were born,
09:45So ish leden av lausen gung av de barn
09:52Egyedna gløyde foyde s fra gørsing
10:01Skvillarn lasse gus rei gargag

10:20Sanvede rishto da krigan
10:26Sanvede rishto da kriga basse strak
10:32His proibida is evidente
10:36The challenge is now the question we can ask
10:40It's also possible to do the work in the history of Paule and Paule.
10:48And in all times, we'll see how a half an hour in place
10:52about the work of Paule's work in the来tasoulas
10:57Because of the time we were in prison
11:00On my own, in the village,
11:04...but he was a young man who was a young man...
11:08...and a young man who was younger.
11:34CHOIR SINGS
12:04Good morrow, fox, good morrow, sir, pray what is that you're aiding?
12:13A fine fat goose, I'm sure you want to do what you want to do.
12:15We were very, very lucky here.
12:17We had fabulous teachers in schools that kept the songs alive.
12:25And maybe because of the songs, it kept the grayling along.
12:28They worked hand in hand.
12:29CHOIR SINGS
12:34In 1959, there was a secondary school founded here.
12:46And for the first few years, or maybe the first 20 years,
12:50there were three subjects that were taught every day.
12:52Like, they were all the subjects, but every day,
12:55there was guiling, mathematics, and singing.
12:58CHOIR SINGS
12:59The three of those were taught every day in that school.
13:02CHOIR SINGS
13:03And we also had fabulous publicans,
13:06which were very important.
13:08We had the people in this house.
13:10We had Mooneys, we had Tiggan Cíol,
13:12we had Anne, who was a publican.
13:13And all these people kept the songs alive,
13:16and maybe ultimately kept the Irish alive.
13:18You know, I came in here, and I had no Irish whatsoever.
13:22I had the Irish for a table or a chair,
13:24but I couldn't put a sentence together, you know.
13:27But just listening to the people with the pub,
13:31that time Tiggan Cíol, coming in and out,
13:33it was all Irish that spoke, you know, all those lads there now.
13:37And I remember saying to my late husband now,
13:41or he's saying to me,
13:43that you'll make an effort to speak Irish to the people
13:45that is coming in and out, you know.
13:48The songs were a great help, you know,
13:50because I'd have been able to pick out words
13:53and what they meant,
13:54and people like Mary, they'd listen.
13:56James was an absolute, you know,
13:59he knew everything about songs and about words.
14:02Still does.
14:03So anyway, these people kept it alive.
14:07And you.
14:08And you.
14:08We might try a song together, is what we might do.
14:11Oh, yes.
14:12I'm just looking up there now,
14:13that beautiful mural that you've spoken about her.
14:15And the great Nicklaus Thaldine,
14:17who was really our great hero here,
14:20I'm going to sing,
14:21I'm going to start maybe a few verses of a song
14:24that I would associate with him.
14:26And Pásteen Fjalln.
14:27Oh, and Pásteen Fjalln, the children, what?
14:30I suppose the Pásteen Fjalln, maybe.
14:32The Pásteen Fjalln.
14:33Yeah.
14:33The Pásteen Fjalln.
14:37Oh, and Pásteen Fjalln.
14:38Oh, and Pásteen Fjalln.
14:42Oh, and Pásteen Fjalln.

17:15Yeah, that's all we can do. I want to learn more.
17:20So here we are, Anne. It's time for me to roll up my sleeves and get into it now.
17:27Yeah, get down to business. I picked this song, Eileen Arun.
17:31It's a love song and it's the ring version.
17:34You would definitely make a nice job of this.
17:36You think I'll be able first? Oh, you will.
17:38But the story goes, it's a love song and it's about a young man who falls in love with Eileen.
17:45And in the second verse, he says to her,
17:48Will you come with me or will you stay?
17:52And she says, I'll go with you and I won't stay.
17:57And for as long as I live, I will love you.
18:00And what's ruin mean?
18:02It means it's a term of endearment, as they call it.
18:06Eileen, my love or my precious person, you know.
18:10Do you want me to sing the first verse for you?
18:13Oh, yes, please. And I'll explain.
18:14Please.
18:15And if you want to mark where the little twilly notes come in.
18:18I will. I'll go all through it. Yeah.

19:21Great, you have a great feel for it.
19:23Would you have that for all your songs?
19:25Oh, it's a gorgeous song.
19:26Yeah.
19:27Thanks.
19:28Oh, look at the lovely.

22:35Beautiful, perfect
22:37Yoo-hoo!
22:39Oh, we did it
22:41We did it
22:42Oh, all of that, the journey
22:45I'm loving how much the
22:51The language, just being surrounded by the language
22:54Is really awakening
22:56The Irish that's already in me, you know
22:58That I'm remembering more
23:00I've been surrounded by everybody speaking it
23:02Constantly, which is lovely
23:04To sing your songs and sing the stories
23:08You know, of people, the people who wrote the songs
23:10So this is really important for me for that reason as well
23:14You know, to learn more of the stories
23:17And to be able to sing them when I'm away from home
23:22To represent us well, you know
23:24Ta fa sing oprod
23:28Next week, I'll continue my journey to Cork and Kerry
23:37Where I learn about the song collectors and composers of the time
23:41I also have a breakthrough on how to learn the language through song
23:45To connect with the songs I want to sing
23:48Maybe it's not learning the language to learn the songs
23:52Maybe it's learning the songs to learn the language
23:54I was just gonna say that
23:55We all have to reframe our relationship with the language and with the music
24:01To connect with the music
24:31Thanks年的
24:35Me
24:38I stuck with the music
24:40I was just trying to see that
24:41You're on the way
24:43But here
24:45I'm in the way
24:46It's not very true
24:49I was a bit
24:53I always be to be drensen
