from Niamh Ní Charra Compositions
The Devil’s Ladder is named after a particularly hairy part of the climb up Carrauntoohill (Ireland’s highest mountain). I grew up looking at this mountain, but thought it was easier to compose a tune in its honour rather than attempt the climb! It’s still on my bucket list though! I was very honoured to hear Órlaith McAuliffe perform it when she won the Gradam for Young Musician of the Year in 2016.
It can be found on my second album “Súgach Sámh / Happy Out”
