The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
The ‘humours’ of a town, city, or townsland are often mentioned in relation to the names of tunes. ‘The Humours of’ may mean good-humoured people in an area like Kilkenny, where hurling victories and their great love of the game has instilled uplifting self-esteem not enjoyed as often in other parts of Ireland. I learned this from another radio broadcast by the Lough Gowna Céilí Band.
