The album "O'Rathaille's Grave" by Gan Ainm

The band Gan Ainm produced an online album "O'Rathaille's Grave" in 2006.
The concept is based on the life of the poet Aodhagán Ó Rathaille.
They say: "This album explores the life of Aodhagán O'Rathaille through his own poetry and through a mixture of traditional and modern Irish and Scottish music."

I include (with their permission) some sample tracks here.
I link each track to the relevant poem in the poet's works in [Dineen and O'Donoghue, 1911].
