About Lucy Farr
Baile na Kil Lucy Farr (née Kirwan) was born in 1911, third oldest in a family of seven girls and a boy. Her father, Martin, farmed at Baunyknave, one of six townlands that made up the parish of Baile na Kil, East Galway. Martin played the melodeon and also the flute in a local fife and drum band. An aunt - Margaret - played fiddle and concertina, both of which Lucy tried to play, and she recalls her aunt playing fiddle and dancing at the same time.
