Still in Use

The first St Johns to come to Ireland were of Anglo-Norman origin and settled here in the 13th century, many of them in what is now County Tipperary. It is, therefore, not surprising to find one of the places in which they established themselves came to be called St Johnstown, or that this now contains the remains of what was once a substantial tower house: St Johnstown Castle.  St Johnstown…

#OTD in Irish History – 18 February:

In the Liturgical calendar, today is the Feast Day of Colmán of Lindisfarne, also known as St Colmán (he was Bishop of Lindisfarne from 661 until 664). Colman resigned the Bishopric of Lindisfarne after the Synod of Whitby called by King Oswiu of Northumbria decided to calculate Easter using the method of the First Ecumenical Council instead of his preferred Celtic method.

Moorlough Shore (Live From Johnstown Castle, Wexford, Ireland/2018)

Music video by Celtic Woman performing Moorlough Shore (Live From Johnstown Castle, Wexford, Ireland/2018)

The FOGGY DEW  melody is based on an old traditional Irish song called the Banks of Moorlough Shore.

Sinead O'Connor - Moorlough shore

“Your hills and dales and flowery vales That lie near the Moorlough Shore Your vines that blow by borden's grove Will I ever see you more Where the primrose blows And the violet grows Where the trout and salmon play With the line and hook, delight I took To spend my youthful days Last night I went to see my love And to hear what she might say To see if she'd take pity on me Lest I might go away She said, "I love that Irish lad And he was my only joy And ever since I saw his face I've loved that soldier boy."

Perhaps your soldier lad is lost Sailing over the sea of Maine Or perhaps he is gone with some other lover You may never see him again Well if my Irish lad is lost He's the one I do adore And seven years I will wait for him By the banks of the Moorlough Shore Farewell to Sinclaire's castle grand Farewell to the foggy hill Where the linen waves like bleach-ed silk And the banching stream runs still Near there I spent my youthful days But alas they are not now mine For cruelty has banished me Far away from the Moorlough Shore”
