Asha ~ Kilkelly, Ireland
Asha (aka Asher Quinn & Asha Elijah) sings 'Kilkelly, Ireland' from his album Sun, Sorrow, Flowers, Moon. CD/download available here ~
This folk-tale of a tough life in rural Ireland during the potato famine in the nineteenth century, was written by Peter Jones after he found letters written by his great-great grandfather Brian to John, his great-grandfather.
Brian was illiterate, and the letters were translated to John by his old chum, the schoolmaster, Pat McNamara. John emigrated to Maryland and never returned.
I went to Kilkelly, County Mayo, to film for the song. I flew in to Knock airport, specially constructed to cater for the pilgrims who fly in to go to the Mary shrine in Knock... holy site of transcendent visions of the Virgin. I landed with a bump in the fog and was transported to a magical realm instantaneously!
It was mid-October, but sunny and quite hot... very rare in this Atlantean outpost. In Kilkelly itself I was directed down the road to Urlaur (Orlar) Abbey, to see the graveyard, the lake and the ruin. There, quite by chance, we met Mick Henry, an Irish folk-historian who was walking his dog Twiggy! Mick called out 'who's the musician, then?' as I strolled down to the lake with my guitar. When I told him what I was doing he revealed that he actually knew the song-writer, Peter Jones. He also beckoned me to follow him, and then he led us to the grave of Pat McNamara, one of the principal characters in the song!
The song has a tremendous poignancy, and I can rarely sing it without welling up. This part of Ireland has an understated beauty, and the people a great charm and wit. It was a joy to come here and honour this story.
