The Irish woman saving the songs 'at risk' of disappearing
You may have heard of Rocky Road to Dublin and Whiskey In The Jar, but what about An Muiltín or Gailtín Tigh Mhór?
Catriona spent much of 2020 and 2021 collecting and notating songs from north-west Donegal as part of a research masters at Queen's University Belfast."Songs can get lost if they're not written down and sung," she explained. "It's one of the most important steps in the research. I collected the songs, I documented them and then I put them on Bandcamp to make it widely available," she said.Catriona teaches the songs she has recovered to children at Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich in west Belfast"It's kind of my way of disseminating them back out to - in Irish we would say 'béal an phobail', the mouth of the community.
"When you're doing a research topic that's quite as big as that, you want to be one step ahead and know the place - the landscape, the people, and just be part of the culture."Catriona encountered a few challenges along the way, like deciding which version of the songs to write down. "It's important to remember not to look at them as precious because they are going to change - that's what the tradition is."
