Martin Long

Martin Long: (1903-1981) was a retired farmer who lived at Cloontysmarra, between Miltown Malbay and Inagh, and we know little about him.  We met him on just two occasions and recorded him only once, during a singing session in Marrinan’s pub in Miltown Malbay during the second Willie Clancy Summer School in 1974.
