On the 288th anniversary of Turlough O Carolan's death, listen to Fionnuala Maxwell sing O Carolan's lament for his wife Máire, who had died in 1733. Fionnuala sang it at the launch of the Mohill Mo Scéal storymap to O Carolan's original air – possibly the first time it has been heard in public in nearly 300 years.
O Carolan died at Alderford, home of MacDermott Roe on 25 March 1738, five years after his wife, Máire. His wake lasted four days, and was marked by lavish hospitality, copious kegs of whiskey, and the music of harpists from across the country. He is buried in Kilronan Abbey.
