From the recording Ainneoin na Stoirme / In Spite of the Storm
Séamus initially heard this song played as a waltz by the great Paddy O’Brien during a Comhaltas event in Roscrea in 1968. Years later he came across the words in an old song book. The song concludes with a newly-composed waltz from Clare musician Damien Connolly, who now resides in Connecticut, and has been composing some wonderful tunes over the past few years.
