Turlough O'Carolan
Turlough O'Carolan ( ga, Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearbhalláin ; 167025 March 1738) was a blind Celtic harper, composer and singer in Ireland whose great fame is due to his gift for melodic composition. Although not a composer in the classical sense, Carolan is considered by many to be Ireland's national composer. Harpers in the old Irish tradition were still living as late as 1792, and ten, including Arthur O'Neill (harpist), Arthur O'Neill, Patrick Quin and Donnchadh Ó Hámsaigh, Donnchadh Ó hÁmsaigh, attended the Belfast Harp Festival.
