Today 30 May marks birth of Elizabeth (Bess) Cronin born 1879 in the Fuithirí (Fuhirees) area of West Cork. ‘The Queen of Irish Song’ as Séamus Ennis called her, she was probably the best-known Irish female traditional singer of her time. https://t.co/WvJmxmtDPS#otd #itmatrad pic.twitter.com/gNb8cb8Fd0
