About Delia Murphy
Delia Murphy Kiernan (16 February 1902 – 11 February 1971) was a singer, collector and writer of Irish ballads. She recorded many 78 rpm records in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. In 1962 she recorded her only LP, The Queen of Connemara, for Irish Prestige Records, New York, on the cover of which her name appears alongside the LP title. This has caused confusion in the minds of some people who think she is known as "Delia Murphy, The Queen of Connemara". The LP title is taken from one of the songs on the album.
