In Conamara, fowling appears to be a generic term for hunting. The Irish word for &#8216;hunting&#8217; is foghlaereacht &#8211; a word clearly borrowed from English &#8211; and can either mean (as here) with &#8216;dog and gun&#8217; or (as perhaps in bygone times) with a hunting &#8216;fowl&#8217; &#8211; a hawk or falcon.<\/p>\n<p>Joe told Lucy Simpson that he learned this song in 1959 from Fermanagh\/Donegal singer Paddy Tunney. This song was, indeed, central to Tunney&#8217;s repertoire, and he recorded it a number of times; compare Topic Voice of the People, vol. 6 (TSCD 656), in which Tunney sings an additional verse.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-mbearla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1556,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676\/revisions\/1556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
