Turas Go Tír Na NÓg waltz

First heard this piece of music from the album by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin and got this version from listening to the wonderful whistle playing of Brian Hughes and is featured on his whistle album “Whistle Stop”

This was recorded by Jackie Daly in 1977, many years before Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin recorded it. What evidence do you have that Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin composed it, please ?
And of course, it is a slow air, not a waltz.

Pretty sure this was published before he was alive… or when he was very young.

Pretty much settles that, I would say. Thanks, Nico.
As an aside, the tune was showing up as recorded by Pat Kilbride, but what he did record was a song “Tir na Nog” by an Irish duo of songwriters from the 1970s, also called “Tir na Nog”. I saw them open for “Jethro Tull” once, in Dundee, and liked their music. Pat Kilbride’s version was excellent. I removed the link.

Goes without saying, nothing at all to do with the slow air of the same name.

Kenny I was referring to Mícheál’s interpretation on the river of sound album. I’ll take the composer header off the abc go raibh míle. 🙂
