about

Trad, Arr Roberts
The Heathery Hills (Roud 5295). This is from the singing of Brigid Tunney, who was born in Rushen, Co. Donegal in 1886. She lived between there and the city of Glasgow, where she worked, and later in Garvary, Co. Fermanagh from 1927 until her death in 1975. Brigid claimed to have picked up the song from her sister who, in turn, was living in Glasgow when she learnt it. It began life as a poem ‘The Heathery Hill’ by Ethna Carbery (1866-1902), published in a collection entitled The Four Winds of Eirinn.
