Barry Tierney - Skibbereen live from Kinsale

This recording was taken from "An Evening With Barry Tierney and Piaras O'Lorcain" filmed at the stunning St. Catherine's Cultural Centre. "Skibbereen", also known as "Dear Old Skibbereen", "Farewell to Skibbereen", or "Revenge For Skibbereen", is an Irish folk song, in the form of a dialogue wherein a father tells his son about the Irish famine, being evicted from their home, and the need to flee as a result of the Young Ireland rebellion of 1848.
