Biography: Rev. Daniel J. Murphy, originally from Sligo in Ireland, was an Irish speaker and traditional music enthusiast. While in the Philadelphia area in the early 1900s, he collected roughly 1200 sean-nós songs in Irish in the Philadelphia and anthracite regions of Pennsylvania with his collaborator J. J. Lyon of Galway, Ireland. His archives are housed in the National University of Ireland, Galway and are as of this writing uncatalogued. Dr. Deirdre Ní Chonghaile has published on the subject in the article “‘Sagart gan iomrádh’: An tAthair Domhnall Ó Morchadha (1858-1935) agus amhráin Philadelphia” in Litríocht na Gaeilge ar fud an Domhain, eds Máirín Nic Eoin, Ríona Nic Congáil, Pádraig Ó Liatháin, Meidhbhín Ní Úrdail, & Regina Uí Chollatáin, 191-214. Baile Átha Cliath: LeabhairComhar, 2015. Dr. Ní Chonghaile's research on Murphy is ongoing.
Provenance: Thanks to Emmett Gill of Na Píobairí Uilleann, who writes "I bought Irish Minstrels & Musicians from a US based book dealer about 10 years ago, I can't find the details."
