Na Geanmaireachtaí in Achadh Úr
Na hAmhráin
The Boherkyle Hunt
Glaodh 'The Poet' ar 'The Young Doc' freisin agus in éineacht le Tom Waldron chum siad an t-amhrán 'The Boherkyle Hunt'.
The Potholes by the Moate
Bhain an lucht féachanta an-sult as an t-amhrán 'The Potholes By The Moate' ó gheanmaireacht na bliana 1957. Chan Larry Dawson, duine a raibh clú agus cáil ar mar fear grinn, an t-amhrán
One Evening of late...
Níorbh fhios ag éinne go mbeadh an Topical Song seo, ón ngeanmaireacht "Robinson Crusoe" i 1969, an ceann deirneach suas go dtí an athbheochan sna 80dí. Ba é One Evening of Late an t-amhrán áitiúl deirneach a chum Tom Waldron
Did You Hear About The Farmer
Ó "Red Riding Hood" freisin, a tagann an Topical Song Did You Hear About The Farmer, le tagairtí do nuacht ón mbliain sin
The Tullaroan Victory Ball
An t-amhran áitiúil is cáiliúla. Cuimhníonn sé ar an gceiliúradh a bhí ar siúl i dTuladh Ruáin tar éis an bua thar Droichead Binéid i 1958. Ceann eile le Tom Waldron, bhí sé scríobhta le haghaidh an geanmaireacht 1959 "Sinbad the Sailor".
One Christmas Day In Freshford
Fuair 'the Young Doc', mac John Dermody, a cháil mar chumadóir bailéad. Is é 'One Christmas Day In Freshford' ceann de na hamhráin is cáiliúla a chum sé.
Bhí traidisiún láidir in Achadh Úr de bhailéid áitiúl a cumadh i rith an 20ú céad. Tógadh an dán "Memories of Freshford", cumtha le Fr. Richard Holohan agus Tom Waldron, óna cláir geanmaireachtaí*. Fad is a bhí na geanmaireachtaí ar siúl gach bliain, bhí amhráin áitiúil nua le fáil. Seo iad roinnt dena hamhráin a cumadh.
Memories of Freshford.
The fresh green field, my ancient name,
Barna – pass of invasion fame.
Uí Duach, sept of Castles Three
Lost in mists of antiquity.
Wailing women at Clashacrow,
Cooleshall nestling just below.
Shadows of druids at “Serpent's Well”,
St. Lachtain, patron, in his cell.
By Viking bands, a church in flames,
Norman accents and foreign names.
A Bishop's Seat at Uppercourt,
At nearby Moate a wooden fort.
Ballylarkin, its abbey fair,
At Garnamanagh, monks at prayer.
Bloody deeds at the Bishop's Tree,
St. Laithreach's bell at Killaree.
Carigeen in the penal days.
The hunted hiding in the caves.
The market in the village Green
Where now the chestnut trees are seen.
Eagle Rock, today as of yore,
Meeting place of Dinan and Nore.
Tomás de Bhaldraithe.
Fr. Richard Holohan, C.C..
