Teresa ~The Rose of Bohermeen!
Brought to my attention by Sean Reilly of The Meath Writers' Circle this is a Christmas story about a girl who sang in a midnight choir a long time ago. Penned by Richie Ball, it recalls an aunt of his who sang with her younger brother, his dad. She died at only seventeen and is remembered here in a song recorded by Davie Furey. Richie was a former English teacher at St. Patrick's Classical School in Navan and Davie a student of his.
Visit Davie's website to get more of the back story and to listen to his other recordings.
