Eithne Ní Uallacháin - Cosa Gan Bhróga



Eithne Ní Uallacháin was an Irish traditional singer and song-writer, from County Louth, Ireland. Eithne left us only a brief but superb legacy of her music, which began with the 1987 release of Cosa Gan Bhróga. The exquisite vocals of Eithne Ní Uallacháin on Cosa Gan Bhróga are paired with the dynamic playing of Gerry O’Connor on fiddle and Desi Wilkinson on flute and tin whistle. Sadly Eithne Ní Uallacháin died much to young in 1999, She once said of her life
.

"I was born into a passionate, 
intelligent family, 
whose passion for the Irish language, 
for literature and for learning, 
was the foundation stone on which all my music was based. 
My father’s love of song steered the course and purpose of my life."
