Here’s an impromptu rendition of Lough Sheelin Side by John Furlong at the St. Machain’s Holy Well in Killincooly, Co. Wexford today. We were visiting it with a group of folklore students from Virginia in the US and one story lead to another and then this song came into John’s head. John doesn’t sing it all here but enough to tell the story. He’s a great singer and is voice is still gorgeous. Text: Michael Fortune | folklore.ie

Here's our latest release of the famous ballad "Lough Sheelin Eviction". A powerful song depicting the sorrowful tale of the Mountnugent Eviction of 1848, where 700 people were evicted from their homes in one day. Performed by the band and sung with such passion by Andreas Durkin, a proud Co. Cavan man himself, we are very proud of this recording and hope you all enjoy!!!! | Derek Warfield & The Young Wolfe Tones
