The Man from the Island
“Lios Buí is a townland in Cill Na Martra which is sometimes referred to as the “Island” due to it being surrounded by a river and streams. A great friend of mine Danny O’Connell, with whom I travelled all over the country to Fleadhanna, Festivals and music weekends lives there. I wrote this tune in his honour.”
Fear an Oileáin
“Baile fearainn i gCill na Martra isea Lios Buí. Tugtar an t-oileán air go háitiúil toisc go bhfuil sé timpeallaithe ag aibhneacha agus srutháin. Maireann cara mór liom, Dónal Ó Connaill, anseo agus tá an bheirt againn tar éis a bheith ar fuaid na tíre ag fleadhanna, féilte agus deireadh seachtainí ceoil. Chumas an port seo in onóir do Dhónal.”
