Here is a tune that I wrote a few years ago, based on the Conamara song ‘Cóilín Phádraig Shéamais’ by Pádraig Ó hAoláin. When I moved back to Conamara, it was the first song I heard when I walked into a session in Tigh Hughes. It stayed in my mind and I composed a couple of different pieces based on it. This is the jig. You can hear the original song sung by Ó hAoláin and Martina Goggin here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOjSOAxN9Wg

Here are another two tunes – a hornpipe and reel – that I wrote based on the Conamara song 'Cóilín Phádraig Shéamais'. There is also a jig here: https://soundcloud.com/toner-quinn/port-choilin-phadraig-sheamais

The song was written by Pádraig Ó hAoláin and recorded by the singer/songwriter with Martina Goggin in the 1970s. You can hear the original here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOjSOAxN9Wg
