"Sean-nós" in the Irish language means "old style" and refers to various sean-nós activities, including sean-nós singing and sean-nós dancing. These forms of Irish dance and traditional Irish song have been documented by ethnomusicologists.

Click below to hear another track from our CD, Marc plays a air on a low A whistle.
The tune is called Anach Cuan.
Anach Cuan is the village of Annaghdown in Co Galway. In 1828 a boat called An Caisleán Nua (The Newcastle) set off from Annaghdown to a fair in Galway City. There were 31 passangers and 10 sheep on board as well as other items for sale at the fair. When they got to within 2 miles of their destination, A sheep stamped a hole in the floor of the rotten boat and it sank in minutes. 19 drowned, 12 survived. This song written by Antaine Ó Raifteirí recounts the tragedy.

I have been getting many emails and messages from youtube from people who wanted the notes to the video above. If you play the tin whistle, below are the notes. Keep in mind I played it on a Low "A" whistle.
