‘The Ballad of Michael Hoade’ was composed by Tommy Farrell of Carraun, near Belclare, Co. Galway sometime in the 1920s. It recounts the story of Michael Hoade, a Caherlistrane shopkeeper, who was killed by members of the Crown forces on 22 January 1921, during the War of Independence.
Over the decades, the memory of the ballad has been kept alive by Tommy Farrell's near neighbours, the Lardners. In this short film, Rosaline Lardner revives the song at Carragh Cottage, the ancestral home of the famous musical Keane family. Brendan McGowan of Galway City Museum also gives an overview of the incident that inspired the song.
Thanks to Rosaline Lardner (vocals), Michael Cully (accordion), Mary Jo Fitzpatrick (keyboard) and Andrew Newland (pipes and whistle). Thanks also to Seán Keane, and to Garry Kelly and Damien Burke of GK Media.
This project has been funded by Galway City Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, under the Decade of Centenaries Programme, 2021.
