Also, you can buy the CDs from Gerry O Connor here: http://gerryoconnor.net/albums.html

You might also want to look into her sister, singer Padraigin Ni Uallacháin

You can see Eithne playing flute in this clip on Youtube - she comes on-stage about 1:50

One of my favourite singers. Precious few clips to be found online unfortunately... Best to start with the eponymously titled Lá Lugh cd, and especially her beautiful rendition of Oícha fá Fhéil' Bríde. Good luck.

"Cosa Gan Bhroga"

Ditto that, a favourite...

"Cosa Gan Bhroga"

It seems that someone has managed a zip of this lovely recording, which has too long been unavailable... May it soon be available in a not so compressed form...

Re: 'Eithne Ni Uallachain'

I'll have to see if I can dig out the old house recordings I have that include Eithne. I'd lost track and I hadn't known until this thread of her passing... Lovely people, all, who also happened to be gifted musically as well... Is there an obituary anywhere that can inform me a little bit better on this?

Re: 'Eithne Ni Uallachain'

Here's a blog page for the album:

I notice the link on the page goes to the same mediafire download Ceol already linked to.

Thanks for the excellent seasoning, these links, for my day, and for the news, as sad and unexpected as it was...
