Description
Watercolour Sketch for a painting of an ancestral home. I was delighted recently to be commissioned to paint the ancestral home / cottage of the iconic songwriter Patrick Joseph McCall (6 March 1861 8 March 1919) an Irish songwriter and poet, known mostly as the author of lyrics for popular ballads and also to discover that this home is only four miles from where I live.
P.J.MC CALL was a Dublin-born songwriter and poet ( son of JOHN McCall. Historian, Folklorist, Writer and Patriot from Killalongford, Clonmore Co Carlow Ireland .Born in 1822 )
Many of his songs reflect an interest in his ancestors from the Carlow-Wexford region.
In 1580, at Glenmalure in Co. Wicklow Ireland , Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne overcame the forces of the British Crown under Lord Grey de Wilton.
The victory is commemorated in the song 'Follow Me Up to Carlow'
His songs, still popular today include "Boolavogue", "The Lowlands Low", "Kelly the Boy from of Killane" and "Haste to the Wedding"
