An
Chailleach sa Tornoig
(The Old
Hag at the Kiln)
Dinny Delaney
An Chailleach sa
Tornoig is a traditional Irish
jig. A version of this tune was played by Dinny Delaney
(1836-1919), a blind piper from Ballinasloe, Co. Galway.
Philippe Varlet states that Delaney competed in the Dublin Feis
at the turn of the century and recorded this tune on a cylinder
in 1899.
Established in 1896, the Feis Ceoil
Association promotes excellence in the learning and performance
of music across all ages, levels and disciplines. An festival is
held before Easter each year in Dublin which comprises almost
200 competitions, attracting over 3,000 participants from all
over the island of Ireland. Non-competitive events and concerts
are held throughout the the year. |
