Written in 1905, with lyrics by William Jerome and music by Jean Schwartz, Molly-O has been performed by many. Maura O’Connell provides the vocals for De Danaan, a band comprised of Frankie Gavin, a fiddler, and Alec Finn, a bouzouki and guitar player. Joined by bohran and bones player Johnny "Ringo" McDonogh and banjo player Charlie Piggott, Gavin and Finn began to perform as De Danaan, taking their name from the people of the goddess Danu [Dana] called Tuatha Dé Danaan. The band's present lineup features Cork-born bodhran player Colm Murphy and accordionist Derek Hickey.
Achusla [a-KOOSH-la] is a term of endearment that means the beat of my heart.
