Hello! I'm back with another tune from the old bank piano at Ulster Folk Museum. Today I'm playing Eleanor Plunkett, one of my all time favourite Irish tunes. It was originally composed by the famous blind harpist Turlough O'Carolan, who lived from 1670-1738. O'Carolan is an absolute legend of Irish music, creating some of Ireland's most beloved tunes. He was born in Nobber, Co. Meath and was blinded by smallpox at the young age of 18. That didn't stop him though, and shortly after this he became an apprentice harper. And then at the age of 21, he set out on his own to venture around Ireland. On his travels, he composed a prolific catalogue of tunes connected to people and places all the country. Though most of his tunes were not even written down during his lifetime, they survived in the beautiful old oral tradition of lore-keeping and many are still cherished to this day. This tune is attributed to the real-life Eleanor Plunkett, who was born in the late 1680s. Her family were a wealthy Irish family who lived in the estate of Castlecome, in the townland of Ardmagh (“the high plain”) in O'Carolan's home county of Meath. However, they were in a constant struggle to hold onto their lands during that troubled century. Firstly, it was all confiscated by Cromwell in the 1650s. And although in 1680 they managed to sign a lease to reclaim their land with Thomas Taylor (Cromwell's Treasurer of War for Ireland), their castle had been since been destroyed. Then they sided with the losing Jacobite side during the 1690 Battle of the Boyne, and once again lost their land to Taylor. Eleanor Plunkett was very young at this time, and endured all this along with the murder of her father and the death of her mother shortly after. For most of her life she fought to reclaim her land, as the 1680 lease was still valid until 1741. And despite Catholic discrimination at that time, she and her sister Mary managed to win their case in 1722. But Taylor wasn't about to relinquish control of their lands, and after several delays imposed by him their whole case was dismissed in 1728. O'Carolan's tune may have been composed in celebration of Eleanor Plunkett seemingly winning back her lands. And although this never happened in the end, her name is still remembered today by enjoyers of old Irish music all over the world.
