Biography
Patrick Joseph McCall (6 March 1861 – 8 March 1919) known as "P.J. McCall" was an Irish songwriter, historian, and poet, known mostly as the author of lyrics for popular ballads. He was assisted in putting the Wexford ballads, dealing with the 1798 Rising, to music by Arthur Warren Darley using traditional Irish airs. His surname is one of the many anglicizations of the Irish surname Mac Cathmhaoil, a family that were chieftains of Kinel Farry (Clogher area) in County Tyrone. McCall's ancestors relocated from Tyrone to Carlow in the early 1600s.
