  • B’amhránaí traidisiúnta é Frank Harte (14 Bealtaine 1933 – 27 Meitheamh 2005) a rugadh i Séipéal Iosóid. Bhí stór millteach amhrán aige. Níor thréig sé riamh a dhúchas féin agus thaispeáin sé don domhan mór go bhfuil traidisiún saibhir amhránaíochta i mBaile Átha Cliath. Bhí eolas cuimsitheach aige bhí amhráin Ghaeilge aige, bíodh go raibh cúthaile áirithe air ina gcuibhreann; agus bailéid idirnáisiúnta, agus seanrabhcáin, agus scéalamhráin, agus ábhar Sasanach, Albanach, Oráisteach, srl. Bhí sé ar an tuairim nach bhfuil amhrán ann sa tsaol ach san uair ina chastar é; ní fíor-amhrán é ach san uair a ligtear saor an amhrán ó bhéal an amhránaí. Deireadh sé i gcónaí gurbh iad na hamhráin stair na muintire, "an chuid sin den stair nár scríobh na staraithe". Agus ina dhiaidh sin: "Iad siúd a bhfuil an chumhacht acu, scríobhann siad an stair; na daoine a fhulaingíonn is iad a bhreacann na hamhráin." Bhuail taom croí Frank Harte ar 27 Meitheamh 2005, in aois 72 bliain dó. (ga)

  • "All songs are living ghosts And long for a living voice" (en)
  • This is a far cry from Dublin street songs, but it was the first song I heard, sung by a travelling man, that made me aware that we had a tradition of songs telling about the joys and sorrows, the tragedies and battles of a people in a way that I found irresistible. From that first hearing I have been fascinated by the idea of the story told in song. (en)
  • "And the banshee cried when Dalton died In the valley of Knockanure" (en)
  • I have been gathering songs around the country for a good number of years now, and seldom have I come across singers who are unwilling to part with their songs. Probably they realise as I do, that the songs do not belong to them, just as they did not belong to the people they got them from. (en)
  • It was a great mixture of people in Chapelizod – Catholics and Protestants. There was also a fair few of the old crowd knocking around – the Dublin Fusiliers who had come back from the First World War and they all had their input too. They had these songs about soldiers going away to war and leaving the sweetheart behind and they were all tearjerkers. I would also hear a lot of the old music-hall songs and Victorian melodrama songs such as She Was Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage or... things that would tear your heart out, bring tears to your eyes. (en)
  • I remember Christy and myself going up to Frank Harte for songs. I'd known Frank since very early in my career. He was an architect living in Chapelizod and I first met him in about 1963. He was always slightly to one side. It would be Johnny Moynihan and myself and our clique, and Ronnie Drew and The Dubliners, all more or less of the same age, and Frank was probably seven or eight years older than I was. I liked him a lot. (en)
  • "The Little Drummer" was a song passed on by the late, great Dublin singer and collector, Frank Harte. "He is perhaps the single most important collector of songs. (en)
