An Droighneán Donn (mar a dúirt Seosamh Ó hÉanaigh é)
(Séideann an sneachta isteach anseo, cé nach bhfuil mórán bhaint aige leis an scéal.)
Is síleann céad bean gur leo féin mé nuair a ólaim leann
Téann dhá dtrian síos díom nuair a smaoiním ar a gcomhrá liom
[Sneachta séite a bheith dhá shíor-chur ar Shliabh Uí Fhloinn]1
‘S go bhfuil mo ghrá-sa mar bhláth na n-áirní ‘gabháil an droighneán donn.

I Am a Suffragette - from 1912...
2018: 100 hundred
years on from (some) women in Britain, (so, including Irish women, at the
time) getting the right to vote.
I Am a Suffragette
(M. Olive Drennen, C
Hanford, 1912)
I met a little
country girl, eighteen years old, she said
Her eyes were black,
her hair was jet, and she sadly to me said,
Chorus: "Yes, Papa votes,but Mama can't, Oh, no, not yet not yet
No matter what the
others think, I am a suffragette.''
Oh, all the men make
all the laws, which makes the women fret,
But wait and see
those laws when we at last our suffrage get.
I have a dandy little
beau, he lives down in the town,
And when he asks me
to "be his," I'll look at him and frown.
Last Chorus
"Yes, Papa votes, but Mama can't,
Oh, no, not yet, not yet.
And I'll not marry any man, 'til I my
suffrage get."
From Here's to the
Women, Wenner and Frielicher
Tim Dennehy at the Boyle Traditional Singers night
There was a huge turn out for Tim Dennehy at the Boyle Trad Singers, Arts Festival, night last Thursday. The workshop beforehand was well attended too.
Some singers came over from the JMSS in Drumshanbo, where there were more singers than ever attending workshops and sessions. In Drumshanbo, where the JMSS coincided with the Boyle Trad Singers' evening this year, the hoodies said : Music is the Answer. That could be changed to Music is the Question - Singing is the Answer.
Bhur mbarúil?
