- #SlowAirSunday presents an Irish Ballad called The Cliffs of Dooneen, made famous by the band Planxty. The song was written by Jack McAuliffe from Lixnaw, County Kerry about the cliffs around Dooneen Point near Beale, Kerry in the west of Ireland.
Tune Origins:
The late Liam Buckley who was born in the cottage immediately adjacent to the Cliffs of Dooneen has stated the poem was penned by Jack McAuliffe who had travelled from Lixnaw to Beale to visit his sister. Jack had spent time with locals in the fields above and shore below the cliffs. He then visited Bill and Nell Buckley's cottage, known as "99" a few hundred metres away - for tea and scones. Liam was told by his mother that the poem was written at the kitchen window of the cottage. Liam says the poem was put to music years later by a local musician. Liam did not know the date the poem was written but he remembers it from the 1930s
Lyrics:
You may travel far far from your own native home
Far away oer the mountains far away oer the foam
But of all the fine places that I've ever seen,
There's none to compare with The Cliffs of Dooneen
Take a view oer the mountains fine sights you'll see there
You'll see the high rocky mountains on the West coast of Clare
The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen
From the high rocky slopes at The Cliffs of Dooneen
Its a nice place to be on a fine Summer's day
Watching all the wild flowers that ne'er do decay
The hare and lofty pheasant are plain to be seen
Making homes for their young round The Cliffs of Dooneen
Fare thee well to Dooneen fare thee well for a while
And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind
To the streams and the meadows where late I have been
And the high rocky slopes of The Cliffs of Dooneen

Ernest Mc Allister because of people like you I am encouraged to continue to share💓
Holy shit, this is stunning. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing once again! Stunning video quality and wonderful settings combined with a wonderfully expressive way you play the pipes. I'm not so much proud of my Scottish routes as I love them. Thanks for remind me! I thoroughly appreciate what you do!
Roots & reminding;)
Hobart Brown thank you! It encourages me every week when people post and follow! It’s an honor to bring these to you weekly.
So beautiful and so haunting. It's quite a statement, but I think that this is your most profound yet. Please keep them coming.
Colin Harrison I will! And thank you for saying that!
Beautiful! Love this series
tá sí an-mhaith go deimhin..........wow great rendition, just as good as or even better than with the Uilleann Pipes that I heard this so often with Christy Moore on vocals. It would be wonderful to know if their is a video of the Cliffs of Doneen with Finbar Fury on Uilleann Pipes and Christy on Vocals.
That's a very beautiful performance you have here, Tress. Such beautiful sound. Please keep up the good work! ;)

Hey! Suggestion for a next locevly Sunday tune: have you ever post "Blue Bells of Scotland"? (I did not dig too deep but did not find it among your videos)
zejedi I love the suggestion! Do you have a favorite rendition of this tune? Feel free to post a link and I’ll get to learning it!
Ho, not much, honestly! Is the last music sheet that was added to my pile by our Pipe Major 😁
I like the tempo of this version, of you need a reference:
