Fairy Music  [duchas:4965861]

In Farrel's land (Walterstwoon) there is a field called Kilshinny Field. One night Michael Lynch, lately deceased, who was deaf and who was living in Danestown, was out in the middle of this night minding sheep. He heard a whole lot of fairies playing tin whistles and all kinds of instruments in Kilshinny.
