William Connellan

William Connellan, born in Cloonmahon, County Sligo. fl. mid-1600s.

Connellan was a harper, who may or may not have composed the tune "Caoineach Luimnigh" (the lament for Limerick). He was well-known in Scotland, where he travelled extensively. There his version of "Luimnigh" became "Lochabar No More." He is also credited with "Love's A Tormenting Pain", and probably "Killiecrankie". His brother was the composer Thomas Connellan.
