Memorial to “Carolan the Last of the Irish Bards,” St. Patricks Cathedral (Church of Ireland), Dublin, 2013.“Turlough O'Carolan,[1] (Irish: Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearbhalláin; Irish pronunciation: [ˈt̪ˠɾˠeːl̪ˠəx oː ˈcaruːl̪ˠaːnʲ]) (1670 – 25 March 1738) was a blind early Irish harper, composer and singer whose great fame is due to his gift for melodic composition.”Not a great photo of this memorial, but last evening we greatly enjoyed listening to a recording of his compositions for harp I purchased at a used book sale. There is quite a lot more to Celtic music than one hears normally! -- source link
