Londonderry Air<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Londonderry Air<\/a>, also known as Danny Boy<\/a> and I Cannot Tell<\/a>, is a well loved song throughout the world. The tune was first published in 1855 in a book called The Ancient Music of Ireland. The lyrics to Danny Boy were written in 1910 by an English lawyer, Frederick Edward Weatherlery who set it to the tune in 1913. The song is especially popular amongst American Irish. Over the years many illustrious singers have recorded the song including Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Glen Miller and his orchestra, Elvis Presley and Eric Clapton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
