Type: Books

Dear far-voiced veteran : essays in honour of Tom Munnelly / Dr Anne Clune, ed.

The late Tom Munnelly was widely recognized as one of the world’s foremost collectors of traditional Irish songs in the English language. In this volume, twenty-eight of his colleagues and friends, all of them outstanding in their own fields, have come together to produce a volume of essays in Tom’s honour. This volume both pays homage to Tom’s personal achievement and shows the vibrancy and importance of ongoing work in the fields of traditional singing; folksong; folklore; ethnomusicology; song and folklore collecting; and traditional Irish music and dance.
