Armagh

I think my own favourite is "The Hills of Granemore" ("The Granemore Hare"). Here's Al O'Donnell's rendition:

McElwee's Farewell; a great tune with lovely lyrics. In fact I'm listening to it now!

O'Neill, thanks for the link to the ITMA website. FL/MAYO, I think I heard a sean nos version of your song one time in Jordans in Ballina.

ONeill · June 19, 2013, 07:13:54 AM

Some clinker songs on that site alright.

I like this song even though it's a rewrite of "The Road to Dundee" and Carnlough is actually a shithole full of inbred savages.

Most of those songs associated with counties such as Mooncoin, Slievenamon, Star of the Co Down etc are pure bilge. Probably fine in the 1950s but the toilets had to be updated since then and so did most other things.

I would suggest this for Mayo or Waterford hurlers but only when they win the all Ireland

Oraisteach, that is a lethal song that I had never heard by a singer that I had never heard of either. Well worth while starting this thread just to get that some airplay.

The March of the King of Laois.
