Turlough O`Carolan was a 17th Century Harpist ,singer and composer.
He travelled around Ireland with his harp on a horse and cart, writing music and entertaining folk as he went. Turlough was blind.
Planxty roughly translated means commission. It is believed that this tune was written for a General Irwin. Turlough`s music is firmly embedded in the Celtic music culture, and this waltz is often played at weddings and wakes.
It`s a tune that we used to play as a band many years ago.
