Amhráin Mhuighe Seola is a collection of songs from Galway and Mayo which were gathered together by a Mrs Costelloe (Bean Uí Choisdealbha) of Tuam and published by Dublin’s Talbot Press in 1923.
Hession’s Aunt Maggie was one of Mrs Costelloe’s contributors and the pianist himself included several songs from the collection, sung by Seosamh Ó Flatharta, on his album Ceol Inné Ceol Inniu.
Now comes one of the most intriguing albums so far released this year, Maigh Seola’s Beyond the Mearing Wall which is almost entirely devoted to material from Amhráin Mhuighe Seola.
