Post by Brian Barry »

I have a song regarding the fairies/spirits of Fairymount, and surrounding areas, they are about Sean Hanly,the last king of the fairies who sat in Kilgefin, Simon Tonry aand Dun Bingham who sat in Rathcline "who hath e'er rejoiced in evil and evil things grown old" this is taken from the Wreck of the Ferryboat (in Lanesboro) about 300 years ago,are there any researchers with similar tales of folklore? if so get in touch.<p>Brian Barry

For example see University College Cork at www.ucc.ie/folklore.<br>Also, a google search for Irish Folklore will yield many sites.
