Iarla O'Lionaird is in a class of his own, I can't think of anyone else with such a repertoire and delivery, the man's a genius.

Rachel, it's part of a very long poem written by a Munster Irish poet, Seán Clárach McDomhnaill in the 18th century. Yes, it's about Charles Stuart, comparing him to ancient mythical Celtic heroes, such as Conall Cearnach, Lughaigh MacCéin and Aonghus Óg. It is very powerful, especially when sung by Cór Cúil Aodha from the West Cork Gaeltacht!

I have watched this many times just attempting to learn to pronounce the words in the chorus. These singers have the best diction if you have to learn it phonetically, and their singing is first class. I have searched each of the singers individually and come up with some wonderful music. Thank you so much for posting this.

One cannot ask for a better group of singers, well known folk singers on their own. The beauty of the song is brought out by their separate contributions and group singing.

I first heard this great song in Scannell's Pub in Baile Mhuirne (Ballyvourney) County Cork in August 1972. I think that it was composed in the 18th century in support of the Jacobite cause which died at Culloden. I am told that the the tune is actually from Scotland. Iarla O Lionaird is from the Ballyvourney district. Hauntingly beautiful anywhere but this version stands out - magnificent - thar foir ar fad.

It's about Bonnie Prince Charlie Prince of Scotland and Irleand. It's unusual because he managed to rise Scotland and Irleand to his casue even after bitter reformations and Saxon incursions which split the Gealic septs/clans asunder. But today we are moving past religion (in fact we are past it) and the Gaels of Scotland and Ireland are finding their common ground in ancestral history and language. Seeking to run Gaelic affairs not from London but in Gaelic lands. The english are determined to block this and do all they can to divide and divide more the Gael. This song is a symbol of our resistance and pain of oppression.

I found this video about 6 months or longer ago while looking for Karen Matheson videos. I watched and listened to the Highland Sessions recordings here so often (and I liked them more every time) that I ordered the DVD from a Scotland-based shop, and this song is the one that forwarded my decision most. These Sessions are definitely among the best productions the BBC has ever come forth with.

Wonderful, wonderful. Everyone does a great job here. But I have to say that Karen Mathieson is - as ever - simply marvellous. Although this song articulates the Irish view of Bonnie Prince Charlie, any song which addresses the '45 (especially one in Gaelic) has a particular power for people from Scotland. Culloden marked the beginning of the systematic dismantling of Gaelic civilisation in Scotland.

Yes it was a vain hope in a coward who wasn't even at the level of a rogue-- But the song itself, stands on its own. It well expresses Gaelic grief at the English boot. Decades later, under the impact of the French Revolution more worthy fighters for Ireland would arise in the form of Wolfe Tone & the United Irishmen.
